piccolo

Woodwind instrument, the smallest member of the flute family, with a brilliant and penetrating tone. It sounds an octave higher than the flute, and for this reason is sometimes known as the ottavino (Italian, ‘octave’). Antonio Vivaldi composed three concertos for the piccolo, and it can also be heard in the first movement of Sergey Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé (1934).
