Title:
SteamBoat Natchez New Orleans Calliope
Description:
A calliope is a musical instrument that produces sound by sending steam through whistles, originally locomotive whistles. The calliope is also known as a "steam organ" or "steam piano". It was often played on riverboats and in circuses, where it was sometimes mounted on a carved, painted and gilded horse-drawn wagon in a circus parade (picture, right). Calliopes remain in common use as the characteristic instrument of Merry-go-Rounds.[citation needed] The instrument's name originates from Greek mythology: Calliope (pronounced cal-eye-oh-pee), daughter of Zeus, was chief of the Muses and mother of Orpheus. Her name, in Greek, means "beautiful voiced". A calliope is typically very loud; even small calliopes produce sound that can travel for miles

Although it's labeled as the second of Op.18, it's actually "third in order of composition" [liner notes]. The whole set was begun in 1798 and finished in 1799 and 1800.
