 Re: Symphonic vs. Solo Oboe Playing

Curiously enough, Ken, the reeds I was using for my symphonic adventure this past weekend were some that I got from Katherine Needleman.

Though they may be her "seconds," they are easily the most refined, responsive, and stable reeds I have ever played. I sounded absolutely gorgeous, if I do say so myself.

However, I had no opportunity to test the limits of these reeds' projecting abilities, since my solo bits were all marked "p" or "pp" -- and the conductor had let me know, early on, that he wanted no more than that, and possibly less.

But the capability of these reeds to allow whisperingly low pianissimos is also testimony to their excellence.
