Oboe Solos

Everybody's Favorite Series, Volume 99

By Jay Arnold

There are some good pieces for younger musitions, but also something more difficult. I reccomend it for music school and music highschool.

I love this book. It ranges from fairly simple pieces (ex. La Cinquantain) to pretty difficult ones (Mozart Sonata), but also has good intermediate songs (Telemann Concerto or Schumann Romances). I am a third year oboist (now a sophomore in high school) and I especially like how a growing oboe...

player, such as myself, can buy just one book and have a range of solos to match their development as a musician. Some trills and articulation markings were edited out of several songs in the book, but if you are a student you can easily ask your teacher about them. I noticed that there was one wrong note in the first movement of the Telemann Concerto, but other than that, this book is pretty perfect! I would recommend this book to any oboe player looking for a collection of beautiful- and accompanied- solos at a great price.

This is a must for EVERY oboe student. It has a variety of songs from beginner through the college level. I insist that every one of my students have a copy. And the price is unbeatable.

This book contains a few easier solos for early intermediate players, as well as Class I solos on the Texas UIL Prescribed Music List.

I hesitate filling in the terms of difficulty, because of the great variety of difficulty in works. For instance the difference (in difficulty) between the Corelli Sarabande and Mozart Sonata. However for any oboe player there is something to pick. That's a strong point.
