Now...if you'd like to see a more historical explanation....
Sir Malcolm Sargent presents, and conducts the London Symphony Orchestra, in a performance of Britten's Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra. The music was commissioned from Britten by the Crown Film Unit, specifically for this film. It was made in 1946, and the players were those who had sustained the orchestra through the war years: the younger musicians, men and women, were still in the armed forces and were yet to be demobbed.
