Re: Is Barret Obsolete?

perhaps I am getting in on this a bit late, but upon reading through the very interesting thoughts posted by everyone i find something that is a bit annoying: the habit of using the word "correct" as it is applied to a piece of music. certainly the style and character are essential, but to label a person who is not playing inflection in a certain way as 'incorrect' i think is offensive. music is still art. when we as oboists reduce pieces of music down a set of "paint by numbers", then we are taking all of the imagination and creativity out of it.

to be sure, tabuteau, mack , de lancie, et al. were great oboists of their time. but times change. there are whole worlds of oboe playing out there to which we as americans remain ignorant. who was the last american oboe player to win an international competition? the europeans and asians are the ones out there thinking creatively while we sit and try to analyze what was done 50 years ago. barret and all have their place certainly, but perhaps we need to look at them in a different light and stop thinking of things as 'correct' or 'incorrect'.

my 2 cents....
