One of my best friends plays bassoon, I love the bassoon :smile:

Double reeds ftw!
Have you ever tried cor anglais?

Yeah I have to play cor quite a lot when I'm on second parts.
I alternated with another player when we were on tour this summer playing Dvorak's 9th Symphony.

I love the cor solo in mv 2!
The oboe solos are really good too, especially in the 1st movement. :smile:

I'd love to perform the Dvorak :love:

I might get a chance playing it for my school's performance of the sound of music :rolleyes:

It'll probably be rubbish but the chance to play cor is wayyy to great to pass up.

I played in the sound of music last Summer!
It's an easy score, you'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

The Cor is in about 3 or 4 pieces I think.
There is a cool oboe solo near the end of So Long, Farewell :biggrin:

Yeah I've already had my book to practise the oboe parts. There's actually a fair few cor parts in mine, not that I'm complaining :biggrin:

There's a few nice lines in my favourite things as well if I remember right. :smile:

I like being a bit of an oboe nerd sometimes :smile:

I played in Carmen the year before, now that was a tricky score.

It's weird how commonly and to great effect, that the oboe is used, yet hardly anyone out of the music world knows what it is.

I think in the music world pretty much everyone knows what an oboe is, it's a really important part of the orchestra and gets a lot of solos in pieces.

Most general people have never heard of it though, and describe it as "OH YEAHHHH THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A CLARINET"

:zomg:
