This edition is based on the sole surviving source long considered a copy in Copenhagen’s Royal Library which has since been ascertainably identified as an autograph manuscript.

paperbound-Carl Nielsen?s Fantasy Pieces for Oboe and Piano were composed in 1889/90. Having just gained a position as a violinist in the Royal Danish Orchestra Nielsen had already experienced successwith his String Suite Op. 1 both as a composer and as a conductor. Several sketches and autographs bear witness to his intensive work on these contrasting pieces for Oboe which were to appear in 1890 as his Opus 2.The twomovements Romance and Humoreske are dedicated to the oboist Olivo Krause who played in the royal orchestra. His beautiful tone and virtuosic technique probably played no small part in the fact that these miniatures by the?young talented composer? took the public and critics by storm at their first performance in March 1891.

Carl Nielsen's Fantasy Pieces Op.2 are 2 contrasting pieces for the advancing oboist. The piece begins with a lyrical Romanze and concludes with a rhythmic and punchy Humoresque.For Oboe with Piano accompaniment. The Oboe part is also included on a separate insert.

In his polytonal Second Symphony (1901 1902) one of the most popular symphonies of the 20th century Nielsen 'did his best to help the ear by making the clash of opposed melodic strains clear by sharply differentiating their tone-colour.' ??? Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musiciansread more

Dance Of The Cockerel (Hanedans) from the opera Masquerade by Carl Nielsen arranged for for Piano Duet (4 hands) by Esther Bobrova Lange. Arranger's preface: Dance of the Cockerel is a ballet insertion from Act Three of Carl Nielsen's opera Masquerade it is written for a large symphony orchestra. In this version for piano duet (four hands) I used the full orchestral score making sure that the essential orchestra parts were included. The melodic parts and the accompaniment are equally distributed between the primo and secondo parts. The nuances and articulations are written according to the originalscore yet with consideration to the possibilities of the piano. In one of his letters Carl Nielsen wrote that Dance of the Cockerel is like a polonaise. Presumably he meant that it should be played with pride and dignity in order to characterize a young cockerel surrounded by adoring hens that fight for his favour. (Esther Bobrova Lange)
