Hi Bobo
like an obsessive, too, listening to Izotov's performance, my guess would be that the 3rd 1st octave F in the Tchaik. 4, 2nd mvt. solo, is almost certainly a forked F. The rest sound quite like normal F's, but I have my suspicions. For my money, go for the best legato option, which is always the Forked F, when approached by, or followed by, an E flat or D flat. Most oboes have good forked F's these days, leaving no good reason to tie oneself up in the technical quagmire of left-hand F's. Just my opinion, however, never having to do that solo, being a Cor Anglaisist!!!! The Dvorak 9 Cor solo does throw up the same problems, but I go by what gives the best legato, unless the reed sounds unusally un-even on the forked F. James
