Andante for
oboe and piano was found
only after the composers
death in 2014. According
to his private notes
discovered by his family,
it was written in 1951,
which means that it is
one of its earliest
compositions. This
one-part work, set in
neoromantic aesthetics,
is based on two themes.
The first one - in D
Minor - initially appears
in the piano part, and
then it is captured by
the oboe. It puts a
listener in a tranquil,
sentimental mood. The
second one - in D Major -
is livelier and jollier
(piu mosso), though in
terms of melodic motifs
some of its fragments
come closer to the first
theme in a form of its
variation-style
development. This is
capped by a solo cadenza
of the oboe that leads to
the recapitulation of the
first theme and the
following tranquil,
cantilena-style coda.
Jozef Swiders Andante for
oboe and piano, despite
its charming simplicity,
is a work full of
reverie, nostalgia and
subtle melancholy. This
proves the young
composer's liking for
clarity, lyricism and
romantic expression,
typical of his late
artistic work.
