subject; the second movement generates an intensity of feeling which is
the greater for the very restraint of its language; and the finale
effectively introduces calm moments to offset the prevailing syncopated
ebullience." |

scherzando). The Romanze should be playable by most high school
students while the Humoresque is at an advanced high school or early
college level.

Ob178:
Sonata for Oboe
and Piano by Francis Poulenc. Revised edition 2004 edited by
Millan Sachania. Chester Music, 1963/2004, SS, 21 + 6 pages. This piece
shares a number of features with Clarinet Sonata which was written at
the same time. Unfortunately, one of these similarities is that Poulenc
died in 1963, shortly after sending the manuscript to the publisher and
never had a chance to make corrections, hence the 2004 revisions which
are explained by the editor. In three movements: I. Elégie
(Paisiblement), II. Scherzo (Très animé), and III.
Déploration (Très
calme). College level with a duration of about 14 minutes.![]() |

Ob184:
Sonate No. 1 in E minor for
oboe and guitar by Ferdinand Rebay. Philomele Editions, SS.
Ferdinand Rebay (1880-1953) was an Austrian composer. He wrote 600
pieces for guitar apparently inspired by his niece Gertha
Hammerschmied. This is unusual as original works for oboe and guitar
are uncommon. It is a substantial work in four movements: I. Lebhaft
bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell; II Minuet and Trio; III. Sehr ruhig,
doch nicht schleppend; and IV. Rondo (Frisch bewegt). The writing for
both instruments is charming and quite idiomatic and, for the oboist
particularly, quite demanding. |

G90: Sonic
Portals Trio for Oboe, Horn & Piano by
Simon A. Sargon. 2004, SB. Commissioned by the Texas Music Teacher's
Association. In four movements: The first, Molto tranquillo, begins
with an arching horn melody that sets the mood of the piece. The second
movement is light and airy with a pastoral feeling in its central part.
The third movement starts serenely but dissolves into an agitated and
dissonant middle section, then builds to a climax, followed by a quite
reassuring song. Playful and humorous, the last movement ends in a
burst of high spirits. Despite the commissioning source this a college
level work that only the very best high school students could perform. |
