Do Oboists really suffer from brain haemorrhages? Why is it so difficult to play? Steph Dixon talks Sascha and Adam through the bits and bobs of the Oboe.

S1 - EP 7 - The Oboist - Stephanie Dixon

What is a deceptive cadence? Why don’t we applaud between movements? Did we ever? What is A440? Where has the contralto gone?  Why is the twelfth root of 2 so important in music? <br /><br />Bach to Basics each week brings in a different instrumentalist into the studio to dig around in the nooks and crannies of Classical Music. Co-hosted by Sascha Kelly and Adam Branson, Bach to Basics shows that the simplest of questions don't always have the simplest of answers.
