Written by Ferdinand Gillet, a brilliant Oboe professor, this Twenty-minute study is a set of daily exercises for Oboe players. Each exercise is a bit less than a page length and focuses on fundamentals such as trills, arpeggios, register changes in major and minor keys, velocity and most difficult intervals. This set of exercises would definitely benefit upper intermediate/advanced Oboists, and is a really good method to increase technical skills. Ferdinand Gillet (1882-1980) was also the main soloist at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He also wrote a method called studies for the advanced teaching of the Oboe and Exercises for advanced Oboe technique.

Colin then went on to lead a successful musical career and his wealth of experience led to the composition of Famous Solos for Competitions, which remain highly regarded to this day. Significantly, the entire compilation of Famous Solos for Competitions was performed 1983 by oboe students at the University of Washington. The first solo, Colin's Opus 33 is challenging for the advanced oboist. The work addresses many technicalities, including complex rhythms, a range of articulation, variations in performance directions, dynamics and time signatures, ornamentation and wide range, among other aspects. For all aspiring, advanced oboe players, Colin's Famous Solos for Competitions is an essential addition to the repertoire, providing excellent audition and competition pieces.

Jindrich Feld (1925-2007), one of the outstanding Czech composers of the 20th century, studied composition and musicology at the Academy of Music and the Charles University in Prague and taught at the Prague Conservatoire as professor of composition from 1972-86. After the democratization of the Czech Republic, he took part in many music associations and committees and since 1992 was the director of the music department of the Czech Radio for a few years. His comprehensive oeuvre comprises above all orchestral and chamber music works. The Wind Trio from 1987, now published for the first time, ideally combines the eagerness to experiment with the classical form, giving the players rewarding, sometimes rhythmically subtle and playful virtuoso tasks. Suited for concerts and competitions.
