Bisbigliando was originally a technique used on the pedal harp directing the harpist to quickly alternate between two strings tuned to the same pitch.
Bisbigliando on the oboe, or any wind instrument, requires that the instrumentalist find a fingering close in color, but different, to the traditional fingering, and that he alternate quickly between the two.
Bisbigliando is most often done alternating the traditional fingering for the written note with the harmonic fingering.

A bisbigliando is a rapidly repeated pattern of notes that is played by both the left and right hand.
