I love that piece. You can sure do a lot worse than he had to say about the
oboe.
The horn variation is beautiful. But hearing "Horn players in some
orchestras are sometimes required to remain celibate .... sometimes by their
wives," makes me glad he was much kinder to us. LOL
I also think he's on the money with something he said about English horn
players. Yes, we do want what oboe players have. LOL
Happy New Year -
Kevin
