The duration of the music is 3 minutes. 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. | |||||
