Leon Goosens, one must get his Albioni, i think it is on a Testament label cd or something like that. BEUA-TI-FUL. And yes, most 1st movements are rather 'slow', around 100, mostly not exceeding. A good reference of tempo would be Holliger's recording, although i don't find it really good in terms of musicality (as usual, very perfect in technique). My advise on the 2nd movement would be to study the breathing in and out possibilites, and DO NOT EVER breath in for full capacity in this movement, you will not have the chance to breath out.
Ahhh vboboe, don't ever say that, play music and make music and tone will come, if there is such a thing. Bother so much about tone and eventually you will forget that you are playing oboe for music, not for the oboe's tone! (Arnold Jacob) I think this is so true....when you start to care about how to phrase and how to crescendo etc., you start to plan breathing ins and outs and articulation matters. Learning music is much rewarding than learning technique, because it is the direct application of technique rather than the other way around. PLUS, you play music!
