I dont necessarily think its clear and slow enough that its meant for you to hear the 4 on 3, but more to create a sense of metric tension and separation between the oboe and strings. This mozart kid was pretty ahead of his time.
The quartet plays a significant, joyful and then sad, role in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novel, The Yellow Admiral. These great novels refer to many chamber music compositions of the day, the very early 19th Century, and it's a pleasure to find them on RU-vid as well as on several CDs devoted to the music of the series, twenty-one books in all.
@UCRawxImBUtJ7kD5vrLoR2iw That High F in the Solo Oboe part is the Same High F in the Soprano part of Mozart's Queen of the Night Aria so it's possible to play that Soprano Aria on the Oboe in that time.
Sharp* but they can't naturally adapt their intonation with their fingers as we can so that's a bit unfair. Also, the oboe part is incredibly difficult, far greater in virtuosity than any of the string parts.
@@kushgroover54 they can adapt intonation with embouchure, breath, fingerings. But this performance doesn't use a modern oboe (it's 430hz as well) so it has a way different sound that is closer to how it sounded in Mozart's time (and, admittedly, is way harder to intonate correctly than a modern oboe)
