#1: Remember as "Number ONE!!! Numero uno! First place!" Bigger sound with more types of instruments (oboe, bassoon, etc.). Noisy and jolly. Makes sense for it to come first.
#2: Two starts with T. Trumpet starts with T. This one is trumpety.
#3: This one is 3 threes. 3 violins, 3 cello, 3 viola. A stringy thing.
#4: Four starts with F. Flute starts with F. (Or it could be a recorder... still flutier than the others.)
#5: There are 5 fingers on each hand. You need all of them to play the crazy harpsichord cadenza that goes on in this one.
#6: Just 6 players--5 strings and a harpsichord. That's the least instrumentation of all. Sparer.
