WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF IT EARLIER?

Why not just play the solo on oboe d'amore?

Instead of worrying about playing it in Ab minor, the d'amore part is up a minor 3rd and in the easy key of B minor!

Now, just to finish rebuilding my d'amore and I'm SORTED!

Here's the solo at figure 2 in the military band version, in the key of concert Ab minor

6/8 Eb--- Fb Cb Fb |Eb--Cb Db--Bb|Cb--Ab Bb--Eb|Ab------|--- Ab Bb Cb|Bb--Ab Ab---|--- Ab Bb Cb|Bb Ab Cb Eb---|- Ab Eb Fb Eb Db|Eb--Cb Db--Bb|Cb--Ab Bb--Eb||3/4 Ab-}}|

The orchestral version is in G minor (starting on D then to Eb)

On d'amore, the concert Ab minor version starts on an F#.
