British composer Benjamin Britten’s Six Metamorphoses After Ovid is a piece of program music written for solo Oboe in 1951. The piece was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses and each of the titular six metamorphoses is based on a character from Roman mythology and includes an inscription summarizing their story. The music for each metamorphosis reflects its character atmosphere or plot – for example the fifth metamorphosis Narcissus (‘who fell in love with his own image and became a flower’) is marked lento piacevole and is meant to convey the act of staring at a reflection in a pool. By virtue of the musicbeing written for a solo instrument Britten allows the performer to be highly expressive so that the characteristics of each God can be fully represented through the performance. With a performance time of ca. 13 minutes this virtuoso solo piece will quickly become a staple in any intermediate to advanced Oboe player’s repertoire.

This collection of etudes duets and exercises was written compiled and edited by Russian oboist and pedagogue Yuri Maizels to provide the most efficient means possible for young players to learn the basics of oboe playing. The composers Hinke (a German composer who taught and worked in St. Petersburg during the reign of the Tsars) Wiedemann Garnier and Debondue are among the finest of writers and pedagogues featured in this series. These studies begin very simply and gradually increase in difficulty becoming more challenging melodically and rhythmically with increasing comprehension of the instrument. Short phrases enable the student to learn to control both breathingand intonation. This collection of studies in three volumes can help a high school student or young professional to master technique breathing and intonation while developing the endurance that is vitally important for oboe players. Yuri Maizels was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in the former Soviet Union. After the conclusion of the Second World War he was accepted at age 13 into the Naval Boarding Musical School in Leningrad (the school which had been organized in 1873 by Rimsky-Korsakov) to study the oboe. In 1964 he graduated from the College of Music with multiple degrees in oboe performance oboe teaching and conducting. During his career Yuri Maizels played in major orchestras working with such well-known conductors such as Yuri Temirkanov Mariss Jansons Yuri Simionov Valery Gergiev and others.

This collection of oboe music written by living composers is an invaluable resource for any oboist of Grade 8 and conservatoire standard who is curious about widening their repertoire and exploring the various languages ofmodern music. The term 'modern music' can alienate many minds who may think it will be too difficult technically; aurally unknown and therefore unsatisfying; harmful or damaging to their musical sensibility. To all these pointsthis volume has the answers. Every one of these pieces requires challenging technical skills demanded of any of the more traditional oboe repertoire and additionally they will improve technique. Each piece portrays a characterand language that is approachable and compelling. Far from damaging musical sensibility these musical types will open the ear and enrich the spirit. Some are physically demanding and require very good breath control others needpatience in learning new fingerings and timbres and some travel to extreme registers. But in all cases the effort will be rewarding and not only that the knowledge gained about the oboe and how it works will be equallyentertaining and stimulating.
