I love the 1812 Overture, in part, because it has artillery.
"Oh, yes-- I play in the orchestra. I am in the auxiliary percussion and artillery sections."

Haha, symphonies with accompanying armaments really make you appreciate where you’re going to be seated as an audience member.
Everyone loves it for being a song with cannons in it. Must be a lame way to be remembered though. People like Beethoven and Mozart for, you know, their actual music. But Tchaikovsky? CANNONS!
