 Re: The real practical range (compass) of the Oboe

I sent a message to Oscar Navarro's FaceBook page asking him what is the highest note in the Oboe part of Legacy not really expecting him to respond but am delighted that he has. He informed me that the highest note is an F natural which is surprising.
Here's a major modern work for Oboe that can only be played by highly skilled Oboists and the composer considers the basic range (compass) good enough for everything he wants the Oboe to say in his composition.
The extreme notes are not essential. Another feature of this work is the magnificent writing for the French Horns. For anyone here who has not heard this work as yet, it can be found on Utube. Make sure it's being performed by the Oboists Jose Antonio Masmano. There is another Utube of this work that's being played by a concert band that often overwhelms the Oboe.
