oboe Solo 

This is one of a group of four studies, each published separately, originally written for one performer who plays flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon. Each of them may be played simply as written, by one performer, or by one performer with a pre-recorded tape accompaniment of the optional instruments, or by a group of performers, with one or more players for the principal and optional instruments. The second way, especially, is a valuable aid for improving intonation. The studies may be programmed individually or in combination with any or all of the other studies.

If desired the oboe may be accompanied by an English Horn playing the same part (sounding a 5th lower). Points at which the English horn may play or rest are left to the performer's discretion. The principal and optional parts may be played by more than one performer.
