I was wondering if anyone knew a concerto written for oboe that's not of extreme difficulty to play. I have to learn a concerto for a concert coming up, and I'm unsure what I should play. The arrangement must be written for band though.

Thanks!

You could do Mozart's Concerto in C. You'd need someone to arrange it for band for you, though. I don't think there are any oboe concertos written for band.

The Cimarosa or Marcello in Cm. I'm sure you could find it arranged for band.

The Mozart piece, the Cimarosa or Marcello are great ideas! Thanks. I'm looking into them.

Lol. Thanks, I wasn't going to be the one to admit the comment about the blaring band. And no microphone is allowed...so...gotta put that into consideration. Although saxophones aren't so much of a problem as over enthusiastic flutists. =) Gotta love em.

* borrows bone *

* gnaws *

It must be a beginning of spring thing, cuz I also had a performance last night. It was going well till the full orchestra played. We'd only played the concertos once...and uh....there was this gap of 103 measures of rests. Therefore, oboe was supposed to get a cue....and the conductor forget about me....
* cries *
So like I did this jazz-oboe -improv- thing to make up for the measures lost. It got ugly.

* returns bone *
