Conversations About Beethoven: Trio Variations in C Major, “La Ci Darem La Mano.”

In this clip from the Santa Barbara Symphony's November 21st Concert, Beethoven @250, maestro Nir Kabaretti sits down with Santa Barbara Symphony Allstars, Lara Wickes (oboe), Jennifer Cullinan (Oboe), and Sarah Beck (English horn) as they discuss how Beethoven wrote for the oboe, how these compositions can be extremely revealing about the player, and how compositions like Variations in C Major can seem deceptively simple.
