Even
though the Frankfurt
composer Kurt Hessenberg
(1908-1994) made a
lasting impression,
especially by his sacred
choral music - his motet
'O Herr, mache mich zum
Werkzeug deines Friedens'
forms part of the
repertoire of every good
choir - his career as a
composer began with
piano, chamber and
orchestral music. All his
life Hessenberg remained
faithful to these genres.
Between 1958 and 1963 he
wrote five miniatures
which he put together
into Opus 71 and in which
he let the five
instruments of a wind
quintet have their 'say'
separately and with piano
accompaniment: flute,
oboe, clarinet, horn and
bassoon.Created in 1958,
'Capriccio' Op. 71 No. 2
is dedicated to the oboe.
It is an enjoyable and
rewarding piece in a
neoclassical style
characterized by an
extended tonality. This
'Capriccio' gives the
oboist the possibility to
play in an effective
virtuoso, yet cantabile
way and, in addition,
uses piano accompaniment
in a rewarding manner - a
welcome addition to the
oboe repertoire.
