Course contents

This course works with the student as an exceptional musician, who has no apparent issues in playing. The student has excellent technique, tone quality, intonation and performing skills. These are requirements to withstand competition in the soloist, chamber and orchestra fields. This course continues the established path from the previous course, mainly in creative activities, very good oboe technique, tone quality, intonation and shifts in the direction of „perfect form.“ The aim is at the highest possible level, to master the greatest number of oboe compositions. International competitions are a good guide for selecting compositions. Also included are the compositions of A. Dorati, E. Bozza, D. Milhaud, B.A. Zimmermann, J. Pelikan. The inclinations of some students towards contemporary composers and those experimenting with the instrument are accecpted. This orientation, might be for many of them their life's mission. Others who do not share this are guided in the learning of some modern procedures, ex. muliphonics, circular breathing, frulato, etc.
