If you’ve never heard this before and you’ve ever played the Mozart Oboe Quartet you really have to give it a listen … really! But even if you haven’t played the Mozart this is well worth the listen!

[Person #1] : “See, this is what bothers me about myself: if the radio display didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have known this is an oboe.” [Person #2]: “THAT’s what bothers you about yourself?!”
