“Cont e Pastorale is a piece for Oboe and Piano accompaniment by Eugène Bozza. Dedicated to F. Legrand, a professor at the Valenciennes Conservatoire, this work is quite difficult and would be ideal for upper intermediate/advanced players. It is divided in three parts: 1. Moderato 2. Andantino 3. Allegro - Scherzando This volume features the score and parts. It is a really nice for concerts and recitals. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas, chamber works and ballets among others.”.

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.

French oboist, organist, teacher and composer, Charles Colin (1832-1881) studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won many prizes. Colin then went on to lead a successful musical career and his wealth of experience led to the composition of Famous Solos for Competitions, which remain highly regarded to this day. Significantly, the entire compilation of Famous Solos for Competitions was performed 1983 by oboe students at the University of Washington. The first solo, Colin's Opus 33 is challenging for the advanced oboist. The work addresses many technicalities, including complex rhythms, a range of articulation, variations in performance directions, dynamics and time signatures, ornamentation and wide range, among other aspects. For all aspiring, advanced oboe players, Colin's Famous Solos for Competitions is an essential addition to the repertoire, providing excellent audition and competition pieces.

Schubert's 5th Symphony is sunny, Viennese, scored originally for small classical orchestra and positively effervesces with ideas. Stuart Johnson has taken the theme from the 2nd movement - Andante con moto - and brought this gem within the reach of technically less advanced players without diminishing the musical quality.

Schubert's delightful 5th Symphony in Bb Major, written in 1816, is a miniature, perhaps consciously avoiding comparison with Beethoven's Fifth, written just 10 years earlier. Schubert's Great was to come later! The work is sunny, Viennese, scored originally for small classical orchestra and positively effervesces with ideas. Stuart Johnson has taken the theme from the 2nd movement - Andante con moto - and brought this gem within the reach of technically less advanced players without diminishing the musical quality.

Jindrich Feld (1925-2007), one of the outstanding Czech composers of the 20th century, studied composition and musicology at the Academy of Music and the Charles University in Prague and taught at the Prague Conservatoire as professor of composition from 1972-86. After the democratization of the Czech Republic, he took part in many music associations and committees and since 1992 was the director of the music department of the Czech Radio for a few years. His comprehensive oeuvre comprises above all orchestral and chamber music works. The Wind Trio from 1987, now published for the first time, ideally combines the eagerness to experiment with the classical form, giving the players rewarding, sometimes rhythmically subtle and playful virtuoso tasks. Suited for concerts and competitions.
