YouTube Symphony Orchestra OBOE Audition - Ravel; Le Tombeau de Couperin

[DevinJMorrison]

She nailed it!!

[oboelover13]

You played this very well, congratulations. The next time you record this though, I would suggest playing it in another room or get another recording device, it made the beginning sound very heavy. Very lovely though, great job.

beast.

[Icsandbits]

Blimey, that's good stuff...I'm doind this for my grade 8 and it's bloody hard, so my praise goes out to you :)

um. she could have been sharp and couldnt push in the reed anymore.

[SaiaraAuthorGirl]

@ItssAllAboutTheMusic the reed should stay all the way in the reciever of the oboe at all times. If there is a problem with tuning, it's because the reed needs a shave, you're mouth isn't open or closed enough, or even maybe you're lips aren't at the right place on the oboe. I've studied oboe for many years and have been making reeds for a very long time. I don't know everything, but I do know that if an oboe is out of tune, it's the reed, embesure, or adjustment of the screws, maybe a leak.

Beautiful! :D

Oh my gosh! I only clicked on this because I had just finished watching (listening to) your piece from Scheherazade, (which was amazing) and I thought I'd give this one a listen. I have this on my ipod! I love it! You are absolutely amazing!

[crowdedspace]

hmmm...

i didn't quite care for the tempo. the nod at the end was good for laugh though.

however, i simply could not take my eyes off of the oboist. quite a catch if you ask me.

@crowdedspace What ? Are you blind ?

[SaiaraAuthorGirl]

woah.... that's good. It sounded a tad flat though.

[angela1894]

@SaiaraAuthorGirl What ? Are you deaf ?

[SaiaraAuthorGirl]

@angela1894 Ummm....no. I'm actually not. Or perhaps I am, which wouldn't explain why I could hear the piece, but might explain why you don't agree with me. Hmm... I'm finding hard to be witty or humerous. well in any case. I still stand by my statement that she is a little flat, I do also, however, stand by my statement that she is an amazing player and did a very wonderful job in this piece. I'm thinking all she had to do was pull the reed out of her mouth a bit, but either way, its wonderful

[FrogBlastTheVentCore]

very nice

[jcg1227]

Nice tempo! Though it would be better if you played it more softly. But other than that, it was pretty good. :)
