Ups and Downs: Tabuteau on Brahms 3

Tabuteau demonstrates on the oboe three different ways of playing the solo in the first movement of Brahms' 3rd symphony. Below is the entire audio clip from "Marcel Tabuteau: How do you expect to play the oboe if you can't peel a mushroom?"

Final Thoughts

I've listened to this recording more times than I care to admit and I haven't come up with the third version; Tabuteau describes only two of the three different versions. Any help identifying the third version and what he's demonstrating would be appreciated.
