Quotation Etudes - Oboe (or Clarinet or Saxophone)

Picking a "favorite composer" is a most difficult task. Musical inspiration can go back as far as notes have been written, but one thing all great composers possess is a "voice" of their own. While an etude may contain a short, musical quote from a particular composition, the primary goal of the project is to capture the style, voice, and personality that defines each of the 68 composers. The musical ingenuity of these composers encompasses the period from the Renaissance to the end of the 20th century. The notation used is a 21st century vocabulary striving to be faithful to original performance practices and to the essence of each chosen composer.
