Hey David Oberg! I didnt forget. I first have to admit that I am just a simple man. When it comes to Classical Music (which I love), I am really more of a top 40s kinda guy. Basically, I know the famous tunes and learn the others as I go along. I know who Berlioz is/was, but mainly just knew Fantastique. Loved this!!! I dont have the ear that you do since quite frankly, you are a better man than me. :) I am not exactly sure how to pick out the oboes since I dont have an ear for them. Would that be in the 2nd movement? My friend Thomas Kellner, who introduced me to opera, suggested that I learn about a piece, opera, etc to enjoy it more. Loved the back story! Commissioned by Paganini, rejected by Paganini and ultimately adored by Paganini. Cooool!! Once I read how Berlioz was using an instrument to represent a person on their travels and the inspiration for each movement, enjoyed it immensely. I am going to have to dig deeper into this Berlioz dude... ;-)
