 Oboe d'amore Whats the difference between a standard oboe and an oboe d'amore? I have wondered this for ages, and haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer on the web. Does anyone know? It isn't convered in the music encyclopedia either  |

| When the oboe is the soprano (c), and the english horn is the alto (f), oboe d’amore is the mezzososoprano (a), located in between. http://jdb.psu.edu/music/d_reed.html Regards |

| Thanks for letting me know. Its always been a red herring for me, and I've never been able to find a clear defined use for it. Are there any famous pieces it plays in? |
