Regarding the Poulenc Sonata, some oboes have a connection from the low B and Bb that closes the C key as well. The Bb Eb transition is no longer an issue.

Standard on the newer Loree's, I think, though often this connection is out of regulation. My repair guy told me he kept this connection deliberately loose unless he was playing the Poulenc Sonata! The danger is that low B and/or Bb won't close fully if the regulation slips the wrong way.
