In Sergei Prokofiev's composition "Peter and the Wolf," the key signature does not change throughout the piece. However, the time signature switches between various meters to depict different characters and moods. It begins in 2/4 time, then changes to 3/4, back to 2/4, and finally to 4/4. The changes in time signature occur at the following points in the composition:
- Page 4: The time signature changes from 2/4 to 3/4 when Peter's theme is introduced.
- Page 7: It reverts back to 2/4 when we hear the theme of the duck.
- Page 10: The time signature switches to 4/4 for the orchestral section as Peter catches the wolf.
- Page 18: It returns to 2/4 when the hunters join Peter to carry the wolf.
- Page 20: The piece ends in 4/4 time as Peter and the hunters parade off.
