Re: Marcello Concerto

Hi Drew, I am holding a similar view to yours. I was auditing a masterclass given by one of the most highly-regarded oboists and teachers in the US (he is the principal of one of the top 5 orchestras). A student played the Marcello in D minor, but he said he preferred the C minor version because "the 2nd movement of the D minor version is too busy" ... well, Marcello didn't write any of those ornamentations.

He then proceeded to hear a student on K314, and made a suggestion that I found totally anti-musical. That teacher also wasn't sure if Zelenka was Bohemian or not. Nataurally, I don't have much respect for that teacher after that (not that I was hugely impressed with him to start with).

It's a pity that too many oboists / oboe students in the USA are focused on achieving a certain kind of tone, or to play excerpts the same way as their teachers would (which would guarantee success in auditions). Musicology and musicanship have much room for improvement in my opinion.

Sincerely,
Wai Kit Leung
