Performed by Elaine Douvas, oboe Accompaniment: Erik Nielsen, piano This wonderful album for the beginning to early intermediate oboe player includes thirteen pieces ranging from Boccherini to Grieg to Richard Strauss to William Walton. Says James Roe of The Double Reed: With the poise of a great virtuoso, [Ms. Douvas] approaches these 'easy' pieces as she would a solo line in a great symphony...the richness of her tone, the variety in her articulation, and the beauty and clarity of her line all represent the very best example for students as they develop their concept of playing. And it's all pretty inspiring for us professional oboists as well. Ms. Douvas's extensive performance notes are a delight, and will be inspiring to students and an important aid to teachers. Includes a complete solo part printed on high-quality ivory paper, annotated with performance suggestions and a compact disc with complete versions (with soloist) followed by piano accompaniments to each piece, minus the soloist.

Elegia is a small piece for Oboe and Piano accompaniment by Nino Rota . Really lyrical, its medium difficulty will enable intermediate players to execute it, for a recital or for a contest. This lovely work is quite slow, nostalgic at some points and ends up on a perfect harmony between the two instruments. Nino Rota (1911-1979) is an Italian composer and conductor, particularly known for his works on film music. He also composed 5 ballets, 10 orchestras as well as numerous music chamber works, including a string concerto. / Hautbois Et Piano
