Leroy Anderson's musical style, heavily influenced by George Gershwin and folk music of various lands, employs creative instrumental effects and occasionally makes use of sound-generating items such as typewriters and sandpaper. (Krzysztof Penderecki also uses a typewriter in his orchestral music, in Fluorescences, but with a decidedly less humorous effect.)
Watch an animated film by Richard Haynes and Mikolaj Watt in which a low-level office worker get excited by the sight of a old-fashioned typewriter and imagines himself as being an assistant to the CEO as he bangs out a long report. The music for the film is Leroy Anderson's The Typewriter.
