I have a leaflet issued by Anchor, for a sampler without letters, showing
musical instruments. In the centre is a pianist and cellist, and the
instruments are varied, incuding a mandoline, kettledrum, lyre, as well as
horns, strings, etc., and a small piece of music.
I don't want to part with mine, but it's called "Intermezzo", and published
by Coats, naming countries all over the world except USA! It's simple and
colourful, and I'll do it one of these days for my musical daughter.
