Oboe
(oboist)When the word oboe is used alone, it is generally taken to mean the treble oboe rather than other instruments of the family, such as the bass oboe, the cor anglais (English horn), or oboe d'amore.
* conical bore strapped with a double reed
* treble oboe is often given prominent melodies

Bassoon
(bassoonist)
* conical bore strapped with a double reed
The range of the bassoon is just over 3 octaves, similar to that of the male voice:
* its lower notes correspond to the low notes of a bass singer;
* its top notes are somewhat higher than a tenor.
This range is similar to that of the cello and the trombone.
The large contrabassoon adds a deep bass to the woodwind section.
Clarinet
(clarinetist)
* single reeds
The range of the clarinet, 3 and a half octaves, corresponds to the female voice:
* its lowest notes are in the alto region;
* its high notes, most powerful, are close to those of a high soprano.
The oboe, trumpet, and violin have similar ranges to the clarinet.
- Scored for 12 winds and 1 string bass
- Its name should have been spelled as 'Grand Partita'.
* Mvt.3 Adagio
