Thank you for the compliments my friends! The rest of the recital went well too but i had some scary moments, e.g. opening of temporal variations had a sticky C#, HA! You really wouldn't want to hear that! So really these 2 were the more "safe" numbers in the whole recital.

The Bartok was originally conceived as a flute + piano transcription of a recording he made of Csik origins (i think you can find that haunting recording on youtube!!). This oboe version with piano is basically the same version as the flute version, notation wise. The oboe version is a Hungarian published version which i think was transcribed by Szesler (possibly oboist Tibor Szesler).

Bart Schneemann recorded a version for oboe and cimbalon using basically the same score. Being in South East Asia, no one plays the cimbalon of course so we used a Chinese YangQin, which is a traditional Chinese instrument that resembles a smaller cimbalon, so it is much softer and also smaller in range; and that was why the piano was used to reinforce the bass. We experimented and really didn't know what to expect. They (my yangqin and piano playing friends) basically sorted out the parts themselves from the original score and it worked! Cheers to them!

Regards,
Howard
