@Angelastic I’m sure I can fit a recorder in my JCCCII bags just to ensure that the “get to annoy Paul” bit is covered 😉
Just had rehearsal for a newly composed trio for piano(the composer) myself on oboe and a friend on bassoon about the crash on Wall Street. He manages to have some runs that are essentially enharmonic Emaj scales but are written : E-Eb-Db-B-A-Ab-F#-E It took me a couple of reads for my fingers to grasp that it’s just a descending Emaj scale. The piece is actually in g minor and is actually pretty neat (hope the performance get’s youtubed)
@srdownie The lack of a soprano/sopranino oboe is sad, but the oboe does get up to a G3…. I’m not sure how much higher a reed sound one would want. If you do design one, I’d love to try it!
