I thought it would be cool to learn to play this, with the nifty oboe solo at the beginning. So I ordered a conductor full score (this one here) (which is what I do, and then I write out the oboe part in Finale Notepad--presto! instant oboe part)...only to find that it omits the oboe solo.
Bwah?
And browsing around on Youtube, I find that yep, some performances omit the oboe solo, and some include it. And it doesn't seem to be a "youth orchestra vs. real orchestra" thing, either, because there are high school orchestras including it.
So, what's up with that? Is it just an issue of not having an oboe that can play it? Or is there some deeper tradition at work here?
And, can anybody point me to the correct conductor-full-score edition that's, like, the "real" version, with the oboe solo, that doesn't cost $60 for the complete score and parts? Or even just the oboe part, although I doubt whether that's available.
