This really is a great thread - thanks, TYO!

I agree completely with Craig and Cooper - you practice long tones, crescendo and decrescendo, to get the full dynamic range you need - it becomes another tool you add to your musical toolbox. When you make music you do not want to be limited to a range of mp to mf, but pppp to ffff.

A word of caution, however. In most situations (including orchestral), the oboe has NO problem being heard. The oboe's unique tone shines through the densest of musical textures, which is one of the reasons why Oboe is a high-wire act - you are always in a spotlight of your own making.

So, make sure that the sound you are making is appropriate for the music being played. As an example it is easy to be excessively agressive on a Sforzando in a clasical Minuet - almost always a mistake. Every musical marking must be tempered by the style of music being played.
