Motor Learning and Acoustics Perspectives on the (Baroque) Oboe: A Concert-Lecture
The
oboe, a double-reed woodwind instrument, first appeared on the musical
stage in 17th century Europe and then rapidly became very popular among
baroque composers. In this talk I will show why; I will play the
instrument for you, and then demonstrate that it inspires a number of
scientific questions about motor learning and acoustic.
