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,
publishedposthumously. 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,
Deploration , 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.
