Hi all,
My orchestra is doing Bolero next season. Being in the most isolated city in the world, we do not have access to a d'amore for the 2nd oboe part. I spoke to one of the oboists in our state symphony orchestra, and she said probably best to put the main solo in the cor part (which I am playing) and transpose the rest for oboe.
Does anyone know if there is a transposed 2nd oboe part around? There isn't one on IMSLP. Alternatively, does anyone have any other suggestions to work around the d'amore part? Neither of our other two oboe players are particularly strong at performing big solos.
Thanks!
Rachel

Your best bet is to play it on cor - play it all a Major 3rd higher than the oboe d'amore part (start on G and it'll be in the key of G Major) if you can sight transpose.
If you or someone else plans on playing it on oboe, then play from the flute part with the solo at the beginning.
There isn't a transposed part as far as I'm aware, likewise there isn't a solo soprano sax part (apart from the last few notes of the solo) - the soprano sax solo is best done reading from the tenor solo instead of the published sopranino sax in F part as F sopraninos were never built.
