Example
My favourite piece of music is the one by the jazz musician George Benson called White Rabbit. The trumpet announces the piece loudly and confidently. It is followed by the gentle sounds of the electric guitar which get more energetic as they compete for your attention. As the piece progresses, all the instruments finally join hands and dance together in perfect harmony.
