 Nino Rota : 3 pieces for 2 oboes

Yes, really written explicitly for 2 oboes, NOT transcribed from flute!!!!

#1. Vecchia Romanza (old romance)
=> also celebration and hommage to a precious Italian oboist and teacher.

Lovely! Thanks for the sensitive recording (with dog) and also for the tip about Michele.

Thanks to everyone who visited!

2 more within the next coming month and a half. The other 2 are not hard, but the alternation of oboe 1 & 2 (playing with a recording of myself) is rather tricky!

Correction, the other 2 are FLIPPING HARD!

The individual lines are easy enough (oboe 1 alone, 2 alone), but in 6/8, when one part plays only on sub-beats 2,3 and the other plays only on sub-beat 1 (for example), holy chow is it ever hard to synchronize!

It seems that practicing a lot does not help (I guess muscle fatigue gets in the way of progress). Practicing often (shorter bursts) does seem to help: every time the session starts with a bad performance, but the badness is a little less so every time.

It's been almost a year that I started my blog, so I don't want to put off the recording too long.... yet I can't post something embarrassing either.... the next 2 will be a real accomplishment because they really show I have trouble with rhythm/tempo and I need to overcome them!
