I recommend this book to every one of my students, from beginners to undergrads in college. The selection of pieces is extensive, and includes many standards in the oboe repertoire, including the Handel sonatas, the Schumann romances and the Mozart Oboe Quartet (entitled Sonata for Oboe and Piano in this book). The oboe parts are paired with piano scores; buying these pieces separately would cost a lot, so this is an incredible steal. There are also many pieces that are wedding-appropriate, for those oboists that are looking for a collection of pieces to play at such an event. A great resource and investment for all oboists!

This book is great! It's a wonderful combination of great artist songs. Anyone who has played the oboe for at least 3 years could pick up this book and love it in a second! I sure did.

The book has good selections, but the solos are only shown above the piano accompaniment, and not supplied separately - which was confusing, because the Table of Contents indicates page numbers [4-112] for the "piano" (which refer to the accompaniments with the [small print] solo line above, and also page numbers [116-156] for the "instrument", which I expected to be the solo parts alone... but the book's page numbers stop with the "piano" pages...

This book has saved me many times! Every time my daughter needs an oboe solo, she can find one in this book - various levels and piano accompaniments included - it does the job for years of oboe practicing, study and progress.

These are comments, rather than a review. I have no fluency with the oboe, but bought this booklet for wife, who is an oboe student. I looked around for a booklet containing oboe music, and plenty of it. This seems to be the booklet that contains the largest collection of good oboe music at the most reasonable price. Some sheet music has only a few pages and costs the earth.
