We reviewed the importance of having the sides of the reed seel and keeping the cane straight while tying. We also talked about the side slip. It is a technique in reed making that is best incorporated aside tying a straight reed.
The next step is scraping the reed evenly with all quadrents looking the same.
Our theory today was about the Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn. 1732-1809
He is known as the “Father of the Symphony”. He wrote an Oboe concerto in C major. He was very impressed by the young composer Mozart. Haydn influenced Mozart’s Concerto in C for Oboe. We also played the Beethoven Trio and discussed the best way to rehearse an ensemble using the score with one student coaching.
