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 of modern 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 points this 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 need patience 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 equally entertaining and stimulating.

Written by Ferdinand Gillet, a brilliant Oboe professor, this Twenty-minute study is a set of daily exercises for Oboe players. Each exercise is a bit less than a page length and focuses on fundamentals such as trills, arpeggios, register changes in major and minor keys, velocity and most difficult intervals. This set of exercises would definitely benefit upper intermediate/advanced Oboists, and is a really good method to increase technical skills. Ferdinand Gillet (1882-1980) was also the main soloist at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He also wrote a method called studies for the advanced teaching of the Oboe and Exercises for advanced Oboe technique.
