Oboe Sonata Op. 166

The Oboe Sonata Op. 166 was the first of three Wind sonatas that Saint-Saëns wrote in his final year. Throughout his life he had been more familiar with Keyboard and Stringed instruments so thecomposer this time found himself in rather unfamiliar territory. Yet he instantly hit upon the inflections and special characteristics of these instruments. To ensure that the parts reflected the technical and tonal idiosyncrasiesof each instrument he asked advice of Wind soloists of his acquaintance before publication. His Sonata Op. 166 met with the highest approval of the oboist; a passage in a letter bears witness to this: ?It wentlike clockwork?. We were able to consult the autograph for the first time for this Urtext edition.

These four Oboe Sonatas which were originally written by Handel for the treble (or today's alto) Recorder and figured bass are eminently suitable for the Oboe. They have been transposed a fourth lower for practicality and comfort. The four sonatas can also be performed with equal effectiveness by the tenor or the soprano Recorder. Transcribed by Whitney Tustin.

Martino Bitti wrote numerous sonatas for violin and basso continuo as well as pieces for flute and oboe and several compositions for harpsichord. This C minor oboe sonata in four movements appears to have been preserved solely in manuscript form and appears here in print for the first time.The edition is part of the ABRSM syllabus (grade 6)

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, published posthumously. 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, Déploration, 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 score, and play along to a special backing track, with a work that's one of the finest for the instrument ever composed.For oboist fans of Francis Poulenc, lovers of Les Six, or just players with a proclivity for beautiful music, this edition of Sonata For Oboe And Piano has been long-awaited, and now it's available in this unique edition with accompanying download card. / Hautbois Et Piano
