Frankly, I am appalled that you would say "stop worrying about tone y'all and just find the music." What musicality is enjoyable without a good tone? You can play all the nuance you want and do all the dynamic-contrast that everyone is so interested in and no one will care if you have a tone that sounds like crap! Tone is the single most individual characteristic of a person's playing and thus the area that has the most room for expression. I could listen to an oboist with a great tone play one note and enjoy that infinitely more than someone playing "musically" with a good tone. There is no musicality without good tone. John Mack said that the tone must be the vehicle for the music. Without that vehicle (or with a crappy one) the music's going nowhere! The reason that oboes have a reputation for not sounding good very often is perhaps because people aren't worrying about their tone enough.
