Sorry for the delay but I was away working in Blackpool all last week.

I was in two minds whether to present this piece or go on to the next one, because this is not what I would call a 'con brio' performance as Beethoven asks. Also the horns sound too muted for my taste. But I am fussy and if you are new to this very attractive piece you may not be aware of these shortcommings.

In his youth he composed a concerto for oboe and also a romance with flute and bassoon. Check this link at the main site:
