My reference was from memory. His statement was "All oboe playing is fortissimo blowing! The pianissimo and diminuendo technique is controlled at the tip of the reed with the corners of the embouchure enveloping more or less reed; the speed of air required to produce either a loud or soft tone, however, is the same in either case."

My problem is that I don't have much in the way of background regarding oboe playing technique so some of this stuff is like a foreign language. I just wanted to get a second opinion on the article Your comments are appreciated.

Thank you.
