Cohen, who subsequently recorded the work as part of the second Albany Records compilation of Krzywicki chamber music. David Pearson writes: "Thick intensities sometimes give way to barren moments. At times the oboe soars towards a goal in its upper extremes, taking a few times and building the tension before reaching it. The piano punctuates, sometimes lays into a heavy groove for a short time, and pulls out sonorities ranging from booming low chords, plucked sounds, to ambiguous ethereal textures." In five continuos sections: 1. Introduction, II. Gigue, III. Interlude, IV. Capriccio, and V. Conclusion. Upper college level with a duration of about 16 minutes. |

Ob207: La Seine for solo English Horn by James Matheson. Theodore Pressser Co. 2011/2014, SS, 3 pages. James Matheson (1970-) is an American composer. Inspired by Joan Mitchell's expressionist painting La Seine, Matheson's work parallels the painting in its wildly energetic exploration of texture. Matheson covers much ground within 4 minutes, and this is at times a study in tremolos between contrasting fingerings for one pitch, creating timbral intensity. La Seine was commissioned by the Albany Symphony for its English hornist Nathan Fossner. It has many rapid passages (much more than what is shown in the sample) and a range to F above the staff.

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. |

G090: 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. One copy left at this price. When it is sold the price will be $39.95. |

Ob164: Concertino for Solo Oboe and Piano Accompaniment by Nikos Skalkottas. Margun Music, 1982, SS, 16 + 8 pages. Nikos Skalkottas (1904-1949) was a Greek composer who began his studies on the violin and latter studied composition in Germany. Very little of his music was performed during his lifetime. This concertino is a relatively late work (1939) and is written in the "non-serial" method he developed in the late 1930's and is stylistically closer to Stravinsky than his former teacher Schoenberg. In three movements: I Allegro giocoso, II. Pastorale (Andante tranquillo, and III. Rondo (Allegro vivo). Duration about 10:30. This piece was used for the Gillet-Fox Competition for 2009. |

Ob210: Three Angularities for Solo Oboeby Larry Alan Smith. Tallow Tree Music Publishing, 2006/2016, 3 pages. From 2006, Three Angularities is three diverse movements for solo oboe - a flowing Andante, a disjointed Allegro vivace, and a languid Lento. Three Angularities was written for his son James Austin Smith, a virtuoso oboist. You can see him perform it on this video. The publisher states this is for advanced oboists but I don't think anyone who is at least at the early college level will have any problems with it. The overall duration is 5 minutes.
