-day. The instrument went through manychanges before it reached its present condition; butnone of these affected the family voice — the pene-trating, roughish twang. The Bombardino-Schalmeyvoice still persists: it is like some other famous familytraits — the Bourbon nose and the Hapsburg lip forinstance — it is hard to suppress. However, it isthis peculiar voice that makes the oboe such a desir-able member of the orchestra. The timbre is thin and nasal, very piercing in itsjorte passages, of exquisite refinement in its pianopassages; harsh and of bad quality in its very highand very low notes. The oboe is artless and rusticin its expression; it is pastoral and melancholy; ifit is gay, its gayety is frank and almost excessive andexaggerated; but its natural tone is of a gentle sadnessand a resigned endurance. It is unrivalled in depict-ing simple, rural sentiments of any kind, and onoccasion can ev^n become pathetic.2 1 Strauss calls for this in his Domestic Symphony. 2 Lavignac.
Text Appearing After Image:
FIRST OBOE, SYMPHONY SOCIETY OF NEW YORK Henri De Busscber THE WOODWIND FAMILY 85 The oboe is the most elaborate and complicatedof all the reed instruments. The mechanical changesare due to ApoIIon Marie Rose Barret (1804-1879),a remarkable French oboe-player, aided by a Frenchinstrument-maker named Triebert. Historically andmusically the oboe is the most important member ofthe reed band. It is first of all a melodic instrument;or, in other words, its tone quality is what it is espe-cially valued for and not for brilliant passages. It cancall up pastoral scenes and it can express innocence,grief, pathos and gentle gayety. The oboe is a woodsn pipe, or tube, with conicalbore widening out gradually until it forms a smallbell, shaped something like the flower of a morning-glory, or convolvulus. At the opposite end it has asmall metal tube, or mouthpiece, called staple,to which the reed (consisting of two blades of thincane) is attached by means of silken threads. Alongthe wooden pipe are

Texte apparaissant avant l'image
L'instrument a connu de nombreux changements avant de prendre sa forme actuelle ; mais aucune de ces évolutions n'a modifié le timbre de la famille — le côté nasillard, pénétrant et brut. Le timbre des bombardes et chalemies persiste : à l'instar des traits de famille célèbres — le nez Bourbon et les lèvres des Habsbourg par exemple —, il est difficile d ele supprimer. C'est cependant ce timbre particulier qui fait du hautbois un membre recherché de l'orchestre. Le timbre est fin et nasal, très perçant dans les passages forte, d'un raffinement exquis dans les passages piano ; dur et de mauvaise qualité dans ses notes très aiguës et très graves. Dans son expression, le hautbois est dénué d'art et rustique ; il est pastoral et mélancolique ; s'il est gai, cette gaieté est franche, voire excessive et exagérée ; mais son ton naturel est d'une douce tristesse et d'une endurance résignée. Il n'a pas son pareil pour rendre un sentiment simple et rural de tout genre, et il peut être pathétique à l'occasion. Strauss l'utilise dans ce sens pour sa symphonie Domestique. Lavignac.
Texte apparaissant après l'image
PREMIER HAUTBOIS, SOCIÉTÉ SYMPHONIQUE DE NEW YORK Henri De Busscber ; LA FAMILLE DES BOIS Le hautbois est l'instrument à anche le plus élabotré et le plus compliqué. Les évolutions de sa mécaniques sont dues à Apollon Marie Rose Barret (1804-1879), un remarquable hautboïste français, aidé d'un luthier français nommé Triebert. Historiquement et musicalement, le hautbois est le membre le plus important de la famille des anches. C'est l'instrument mélodique par essence ; ou, en d'autres mots, la qualité de son ton est particulièrement appréciable pour les passage brillants ou sourds. Il peut évoquer des scènes pastorales et exprimer innocence, grief, pathos et une douce gaieté. Le hautbois est un tube de bois avec une perce conique, s'élargissant progressivement pour former le pavillon, ayant une forme ressemblant à une fleur s'épanouissant au matin, ou un liseron. À l'extrémité opposée, on trouve un petit tube de métal appelé piperelle, sur laquelle vient se fixer l'anche (qui consiste en deux lamelles de roseau sur un mince tube), attaché par des fils soyeux. Sur le tube se trouvent deux « clefs d'expression », activées par des barres métalliques appelées « suiveurs ».
