I think you mean instrumentation, not timbre.


tim·bre
ˈtambər/Submit
noun
the character or quality of a musical sound or voice as distinct from its pitch and intensity.
"trumpet mutes with different timbres"
synonyms:   tone, sound, sound quality, voice, voice quality, color, tone color, tonality, resonance
"the timbre of the reeds"

guiro




trumpet, maybe with a mute?


#2 has something else with the trumpet.  Maybe a sax?


#3 is a trumpet with a harmon mute, no stem.  I wonder if #1 is the trumpet with harmon mute, with stem then.




Is this salsa?

So bongos?

I hear a shaker egg in there too.




And a piano in #1?


Something tapping.  Could be the guiro being tapped.  Or a cowbell... haha.


#3 sounds more like a drum set (snare) with wire brushes.  So maybe not a shaker egg.

I'm going to guess...

It's all one recording, same group, same piece.

Trumpet with harmon mute, with or without stem.
Sax
piano

Less confident, but it's something close to this...
drum set, wire brushes for some.  No snare (so not bongos).
Shaker egg
Guiro
I'm not sure how many percusisonists that is.... Three?  Shaker, guiro, drum set (no snare, and hitting the cowbell attached)?  Maybe four percussionists?  It's harder to tell.

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
