Yes, I know. The holidays have only just ended, and already it is back to the grind both ME and my oboe students. In only about 5 weeks it will be time for High School Solo and Ensemble here in the Las Vegas area, so it is time to get ready!
This is a great piece of music. I love the Handel authentic sonatas for oboe, they seem so simple on the surface but are truly complex, dynamic little capsules of wonderful music that lend themselves to a creatively minded performer.
This is one of my first picks for my high school oboists as far as solos are concerned. I think that the first and second movements are a good choice to display both lyrical and technical abilities of teenage oboists and it is a great little baroque starter piece.
The music can be found HERE... enjoy and good luck to all as you prepare for these types of performances!
