The music is in the key of G major and the total duration is 2 minutes. This music was written as a self-accompanied work, as such the underlying harmonic structure is built into the melody. Some other distinctive features include an abundance of chromatic notes, changes in tempo such as rubato and accelerando, and dramatic fermata. The oboe is a woodwind musical instrument. It is soprano-ranged, and is a double reed instrument. Made from a wooden tube 65cm long; it has metal keys, a conical bore and a flared bell. The sound of an oboe is produced when air is blown into the reed, which vibrates a column of air. This instrument was called a "hautbois" in 18th century England which is a name combining the French words "haut" (high,loud) and "bois" (wood, woodwind). The word "oboe" was derived from an Italian word "oboè" around 1770. A player of this instrument is called an oboist. |
