âOboe
Concerto 1945, inspired
by an American soldier,
(oboist from
Chicago)â â was
what Richard Strauss
noted down. And the
oboist 0nd soldier with
the American occupation
John de Lancie had indeed
asked Richard Strauss in
May 1945 whether he had
ever thought of writing
an oboe concerto. Strauss
answered in the negative,
but soon got to work
anyway. In October 1945,
he had completed the
score in Swiss exile; the
premiere took place in
Zurich in 1946. Not until
1948 did the first
edition appear in London,
presumably for the most
part without the
composer's involvement,
for both the printed
score and the orchestral
parts exhibit numerous
errors. Some of these
have been known for a
while, though others have
only now been discovered
by Hansjörg
Schellenberger through
his exact reconciliation
of the autograph full
score with the autograph
particella. The
world-class oboist thus
presents this concerto
for thefirst time in a
Henle Urtext edition in
both full score and piano
reduction!
