Hehehe, yeah, Barret has some pretty tunes. It really is a useful book. I would never deny that. But I do think that there are a few other equally useful books. I think students would get a more complete education if, for example, for every one of Barret's progressive melodies or articulation studies they learned, they also learned a movement from one of the Telemann partitas. You've got 42 movements of excellent music there, compositionally superior to much of Barret, comparable in difficulty and variety to the Barret pieces, comparable in price, and presenting an entirely different set of stylistic challenges. Plus, they can all be put together quite easily with a pianist for public performance. Some of these movements make EXCELLENT first solo pieces for young oboists. And yet they can be played so many different ways that you never really outgrow them, no matter how often you revisit them.
Cheers,
Drew
