 Re: Am I supposed to be holding onto the instrument with my left thumb?

There definitely are some passages in which it is good to keep the left thumb off of the instrument between notes. The brief, scale/octave jumping solo for the oboe in Ravel's Piano Concerto in G comes to mind.... Other times, the advice posted already, to rest it lightly on the oboe without clutching the oboe, works best for me.
