| Definition/synonyms |
The oboe d'amore belongs to the family of oboe instruments. The term “d’amore” (German “love”) is a remnant of the Renaissance, in which other instruments (e.g. viola d’amore) also received this nickname because of their warm and lovely sound. The spherical or pear-shaped bell (love foot) is characteristic of this woodwind instrument. Like the similar English horn, it is an altoboe. |
