Seriously, is this my introduction?? No, it can't be true...
When you have some ideas in your mind and you have a structure and message of what you want to say, then it is super easy to write an article or any kind of text. As you already have the main features mapped in your mind, the only job you have to do is to transform them into words that will show as characters on the screen. So logical, of course. But, logic and I sometimes don't go together. Anyway, what happens if the ideas are present, more of them, and they are fighting which one will make to the realization? Well, ladies and gentlemen, then it happens that you read a post like this one. When one idea will try to beat another one and you will have to search for a compass to get throughout the text. Or you just calmly close this post, scroll down in your feed and that's it. Are you still reading? Ok, well, in this case, I will have to get the free-flowing ideas into more structured ones and try to offer a better organized text. Not a promise that it will be successful, just a try.
More detailed intro!!
Some months ago, in one of the posts that 
¡Me gustaría verte es con el oboe! Jajaja, ¡un reto de marca mayor! 😂
Ok, in English:
I'd like to see you with the oboe! Hahaha, a major brand challenge! 😂
A challenge? 😎 Cool, why not! So, it happened that some months passed, I didnt forget the thing, but just yesterday I had an opportunity to fulfill the challenge. Ylich will see me with the oboe! That is for sure! ;) There were some celebrations in the town, ceremonies where music was included too. A choir, me with the piano, one oboe player, and one cello player. A perfect opportunity to have that instrument in my hands, so I asked for a photo. This photo is the proof of seeing me with the oboe, right, Ylich? :)))
Approaching slowly the main thing...
This whole taking a photo with this instrument gave me the idea to turn this post into a funny one or a new challenge to follow up. Here comes the part where the ideas started to fight with each other. While I also received a very good suggestion on how to build a fiction story around this post, I found myself not so creative to develop it. But, the challenge idea didnt leave today either, so let me try with this one! If it can be seen as a challenge, I would like to invite my musician friends to take part, and maybe the non-musician ones can have some fun too. Maybe it will just finish in this post and no traction will be, who knows. Until I don't try, I can not know. In case that someone would like to take part, some guidelines should exist. Let me present them, for this "challenge" simply named:
It can't be true
1. Take a photo with a musical instrument you DON'T play.
2. Write an anecdote about how you managed to come to that instrument and/or why you have chosen that one.
3. Write some funny or interesting facts about that instrument, anything you think can make us understand better and learn in an interesting way about it. Or you can explain how the instrument works, how it gives the sound, parts of it, it is up to you.
4. Share some famous / or less famous pieces composed for that instrument, any music genre, or try to play that instrument and record a video that you will upload for the post ;)
If you ask yourself do I really want to leave my instrument, well, the piano is an essential part of mipiano, so it can't be true :)) But if I start to practice one day the oboe, maybe I should be mioboe, what do you think? So this instrument, the oboe, is a woodwind musical instrument, with a double reed. The first regular oboe appeared in the mid-17th century when it was called a hautbois. The oboist who gave me the instrument, just for the photo, of course, said a few things about the literature for it. I learned from him that Baroque composers loved to write for this instrument, giving it a soloist role, so we can find a great number of Bach and Vivaldi oboe concertos. It is why one of Vivaldi's concertos for oboe and orchestra is coming to this post as one of the shares. Albrecht Mayer is the principal oboist of the Berlin Philharmonic, but in this cool video he plays with an Italian chamber orchestra, I Musici Di Roma.
The owner of the oboe that I hold in my hands also said that during the classical period it was not so popular as a soloist instrument, although in the symphonic orchestras it is always present. Did you know, that the whole orchestra is tuning their instruments according to the pitch that the oboe gives at the beginning of the concert? Have you ever heard that in a classical concert, the tuning before the conductor comes to the scene? It sounds like a discordant mixture of sounds, but the musicians know what they are doing and how they are tuning to perfection. Later, from the romanticism period, we can listen to some beautiful pieces, like this romance composed by Robert Schumann. Oh, how the facial expression of the oboist changes when she starts to play! Watch and listen to this:
In the 20th century, the sound of the oboe was used many times in contemporary music. He mentioned Hindemith, Britten, Poulenc, and also the use of the oboe in soundtracks. I had this piece already in my mind, Gabriel's oboe, the theme from the film The Mission. The composer, as you all know, is Ennio Morricone. Touching music, from Morricone who passed away last year.
It can't be true that I will leave the piano, but the oboe is beautiful too. Although to have a nice sound on this instrument, one has to practice a lot. If not, the sound is not so pleasant. Terrible, actually. What I leave now for sure is this post, but before I press that publish button, I would like to invite some musician friends, if they find interesting this small challenge.
