This is an updated edition of Francis Poulenc's 1962 work Sonata For Oboe And Piano, edited by Millan Sachania. Featuring the full score and a separate Oboe part, this exclusive edition also includes a download card, giving you instant online access to demonstration and accompaniment tracks.Originally completed in 1962, Poulenc's Sonata For Oboe And Piano had been brewing in his mind for at least five years. The last of Poulenc's trio of sonatas for woodwind instruments, he tragically passed away before it could be definitively engraved, leaving behind a work with a number of ambiguous notational marks that resulted in an incomplete first edition, published posthumously. A number of revisions have taken place, but this, expertly edited by Millan Sachania, aims to provide a playable, legible, precise and authoritative score that reflect closest Poulenc's intentions.This new edition revises many minor details, including Piano chords, tied notes, the correction of various bars throughout as well as his crescendos during the third movement. At all points, Sachania has aimed to reproduce an authoritative and accurate score that is at once playable and a reflection of what Poulenc himself may have intended. This is a most exciting prospect considering the reputation that this work has garnered as a piece of profound poignancy. Dedicated to Sergey Prokofiev, it has been said that the mournful final movement, Déploration, is something of an obituary. What makes this edition of Sonata For Clarinet And Piano really special is the unique download card that provides exclusive online access to demonstration and accompaniment audio tracks. Professionally-recorded by renowned oboist Christopher Cowie and pianist Huw Watkins, the demonstration track allows you to hear exactly how the piece as a whole should sound, before the independent Piano-only track lets you take the place of the Oboe in your very own performance. This is a unique opportunity for oboists to learn from an authoritative score, and play along to a special backing track, with a work that's one of the finest for the instrument ever composed.For oboist fans of Francis Poulenc, lovers of Les Six, or just players with a proclivity for beautiful music, this edition of Sonata For Oboe And Piano has been long-awaited, and now it's available in this unique edition with accompanying download card. / Hautbois Et Piano

Par HEATH DAVID. This short piece for oboe and piano was inspired by the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Lasting around six minutes, a laid-back blues-infected introduction gives way to a more rhythmic central section before a reprise of the opening music. The composer writes ?Out of the Cool was written to be enjoyed, so have fun with it!? / Date parution : 2022-04-26/ Répertoire / Hautbois et Piano

Par BARNES LARRY. Cloud Breathing by Larry Barnes, for Oboe and Piano. Cloud breathing is a technique in Chinese martial arts involving short, sharp inhaling breaths and a slow exhale to oxygenate the body in preparation for fighting, meditation and healing. In this work, the piano begins in the upper register with tones like wind chimes, with the oboe entering beneath. This meditative first section leads to sudden shifts in harmony under a quiet oboe melody. Activity increases, leading to an oboe cadenza and a fast section based on rapid repeated notes in the oboe with the piano accompanying with contrapuntal lines. A brief piano solo leads to fragments of melody from the slow opening, now transformed. After a fortissimo climax, the quiet wind chime opening suddenly returns. The music gradually regains momentum to break into a bright Lydian climax and a strong close. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Hautbois et Piano
