Practicing Brahm’s Violin Concerto Oboe Solo….
recording me practicing me this was truly humbling…
I decided to practice this after I had a masterclass on this particular solo. Even though it’s a really famous oboe solo, I had never worked on it with anybody.
I would say mistakes to avoid for next time would be to make the first A (the one we all fear) more piano and round in sound. Also the lines of the phrases should be more forward in direction (I can hear some gapping). I can also see my embouchure tightening up more and more as I become more tired AHHHWFEHUIUFIHWEIUH
I hope this WIP will improve 😭😭😭

super underrated oboe solo 😧 The low B in the beginning to smoothly transitioning to the high D in the middle shows the best of the oboe's range.

    Which kind of oboe is that? Does not look like it's made out of grenadilla. Violet wood? Cocobolo?

    Exaggerate the vibrato. In the hall, the warmth of the sound will carry throughout that space and, you will find you have more sound threshold/contrast to shape the phrase between fff and niente.

    I really like the timbre of your sound. Would you grace us some more of your practice, with something like the exciting Le Tombeau de Couperin by Ravel? Musically yours! Added: Perfection is not required, just have fun and enjoy!

    So I’m not sure, but your reed looks way shorter than the type I use and I’m wondering if that’s how European scrape reeds are or if it’s just a personal preference thing?

    Playing the oboe absolutely rocks!! I had a wonderful practice this afternoon, playing a few classical pieces, and very pleased indeed with my Howarth Academy medium soft reeds which produce a lovely tone. Even better, they are only £11.95, so I can buy a couple at a time. Your playing is so beautiful dear Valerie!! XXX🤩

      @tobyelms6148 Месяц назад

      It’s very nice, the trick is just really engaging the diaphragm and opening the throat. Make sure it’s diaphragm, not lip vibrato through

    Strauss loved the oboe. Just listen to parts of Der Rosenkavalier and Daphne. And then there is his Oboe Concerto for which we can, in a way, thank the U.S. Army.

    Sounds really good! Not an oboist, but I would suggest to treat the very ends of phrases with a little more care; some of the final notes die a little quickly/unnaturally for me. But again, not a wind player so don't listen to me too much - great playing!

  • @carolynking4828

    I meant to say just now that I got my new Buffet Prodige thumb plate oboe in February this year, and I started off on the Buffet Artist, learning on it for 8 months. I really love the oboe, and I'm so glad that I took the plunge in deciding to learn to play!! Still very much a beginner with loads to learn, but persevering hard!! Have a lovely day dear Valerie. God bless you. 🤩

  • @carolynking4828
    @carolynking4828 7 месяцев назад

    Very well played dear Valerie!! I'm going to get my oboe out this afternoon, really hope my practice goes ok. I've been working on breaking in my brand new oboe, and it has been taking some time. I think it's getting better though. My problem has been that the keywork on my new oboe is completely different to the Buffet Artist that I had as my first one which was on rental. I've now got a Buffet Prodige thumb plate BC4131, and the keywork has taken a while to get used to. I took up the oboe in May last year, as it was a birthday present from my dear husband, so I'm a relatively new kid on the block here, very much still a beginner!! I've recently bought a neck strap which is very good, so I'm persevering. Hopefully I will be able to take my new oboe to church soon, as some of my friends are asking me when I can play to them!! I really need the courage to do so!! Anyway, my new oboe is lovely, and it's wonderful to have one of my very own now. Keep doing what you are doing, you are indeed a fine oboist with great tone, and I love listening to you. 🤩
