The Internal Musings of an Oboist

I'm Kristen. I play oboe and English horn, flute, piccolo, sax, violin, viola, cello, piano, guitar, voice. I use this blog to rant about my music problems and reblog other music-related posts. If you like this blog, visit my main blog, van-goghs-right-ear.

Musician secret powers

Taking the toast directly out of the toaster and not getting hurt because of your calluses

That’s it

That’s our only power

I thought this was going to be stupid but it's SO FREAKING CUTE

Lmao I guess people seem to like classical music with a sexy spin 🤣

But if I do that, I get thrown out of rehearsal

I did 3.5 hours of oboe last night (how my face is still intact, idk) and I still can't read music today. music overload

Dream piece to play on oboe and violin?☺️

Hi! If we're talking separately, I'd love to be able to play the Saint-Saens Oboe Sonata Op. 166 again. I didn't do it justice in undergrad.

For violin, I just want to play real rep, but I doubt I ever will be able to. I don't have a lot of the fundamental skills for really hard stuff, and I don't see myself ever having the time to put in the work, which makes me really sad. I'd love to play Rondo and Capriccioso (another Saint Saens) or Tchaik or Beethoven or some real Bach. The hardest pieces I've done is the Gigue from Partita 2 and the Double in the Suzuki book. #sad

I had the honor of playing Mahler’s Symphony No. In D, “Titan” with three of my favorites!! What an amazing end to the 70th season of Orchard Park Symphony!
