This title is taken from Dvorak. However. The models from which the songs are derived are clearly identifiable, as are the composers from whose language they have been derived. The piece appears to be in one movement though it is in fact two with a coda. The first is French in style, a sort of Waltz. It is quick and harks upon the likes of Francaix and where its idiom becomes more advanced, Messaien. The other is Germanic, a slow movement with echoes of German expressionism - perhaps Richard Strauss, perhaps Mahler. The two movements are partly complete; the cod reconciles their differences and completes them. I see the piece as my own version of En blanc et noir.

The Concertino IV for oboe and string orchestra was composed in 1982-83 and dedicated to the renowned Swiss oboist Jean-Paul Goy. Its three short movements, following the traditional tempo order, mirror Farkas's attraction to Classical order and harmony. The musical language is modern and personal, however, and allows the soloist to exhibit his virtuosity.

French composer, Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the woodwind repertoire. Let's Delve into the Oboe for Oboe and Piano was published in 1970 and remains popular for beginner oboists. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. Let's Delve into the Oboe is made up of ten movements composed in various dance styles, such as Petit Ballet (Little Ballet) and Petite Valse (Little Waltz). Essential to beginner oboist's repertoire, Dubois' Let's Delve into the Oboe is a delightful, delicate addition to the Oboe's repertoire and provides beginners and intermediate players with suitable performance pieces..
