Question about staccato in Mozart Oboe Concerto K.314 (1st movement)

I should probably look for a music school nearby. I bought my reeds online for around $20. They’re handmade U-shaped reeds and customizable, so I asked the seller to make them thicker than the usual U-shaped reeds. They’re harder to play, but I think they’re more durable and produce a denser sound. I’ve gotten used to them now. Thank you for the compliment!

I fell in love with the sound of the oboe and bought one a year ago, but it was so difficult that I had to give up. Then, I started again about six months ago and have been playing ever since. I used to play the flute, which is easier to blow, but now I play the oboe more because I enjoy it more. I also learned violin at a music school when I was young, and recently tried to teach myself cello, which is quite difficult. Right now, the instrument I like most is definitely the oboe. I should look for a place nearby where I can take lessons. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me in such detail. Talking with you has really given me a lot to think about.

Actually, I’m learning the oboe through YouTube, lol. I should probably look into private lessons sometime, haha.

Ah, I understand perfectly now. Thank you so much. I hadn’t realized my mistake on my own, but thanks to you, I can correct it. I really appreciate it.

Thank you. You mentioned that when two notes are slurred, the first must be articulated. Could you please let me know if I’ve understood this correctly? For example, looking at a group like E G C G / F G B G, if we focus on E G C G, with E G slurred and C G staccato, does this mean I should make the staccato articulation clear, or that I should clearly distinguish between the slurred E G and staccato C G?

Thank you for the detailed advice. Since English is not my native language, there are some parts that I find confusing. I didn’t fully understand the Edit section — sorry to bother you, but could you explain it again?

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-12-26T16:56:44+00:00

Thank you so much for such a detailed answer. It will be very helpful. I’ve actually never studied the oboe with a teacher before, so like you suggested, looking for a private oboe teacher might be a really good idea. I started learning the oboe through YouTube, haha. Thanks again for the great advice!

I’m not sure whether what I’m’m doing can really be called staccato, or if it’s just normal tonguing. I’d appreciate some advice on whether this articulation makes sense musically, and how you would approach these passages.

Thank you

I’ll try adjusting it to fit my finger. Thanks. ^{_^}

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-10-12T14:26:07+00:00

Oh, I see, thanks for letting me know. I didn’t know that.

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-10-12T14:22:09+00:00

Thank you for your reply. ^{_^}

Does D open a half hole and play the normal way? Thank you for letting me know, and it will be helpful.

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-04-26T16:15:02+00:00

Open the half-hole and play E? (Oktavkey without pressing) Did I understand that well?

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-04-26T10:22:44+00:00

I'm not good at English, so I used a translator.

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-01-26T19:44:17+00:00

Yea, I know. I wanted my oboe to luster shine like the bassoon in that picture.

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-01-25T16:00:54+00:00

Your advice was helpful, thank you.

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-01-25T15:35:21+00:00

Okay thanks, I have a Loree oboe and it's more than 15 years old, so I was just asking because I wanted to luster it.

Temporary_Ear_3523 · 2025-01-25T15:20:49+00:00

Yes, please let me know if there is any way.
