1 hour ago1 hr Hi Mark!Quite an interesting and chromatic solo oboe piece you've presented! I am wondering if you just arbitrarily decided to use only flats for this piece? It seems to me like, given it's highly chromatic nature, both flats and sharps would have been appropriate. Then there's also the Cb's you used in meas. 10 & 27 which to me should quite obviously be B naturals. In fact this whole phrase here: to me would have been better notated with a B natural, G#, F# and E since this would make the distances between all the tones more obvious (the distance between the Gb and E is a diminished 3rd which to me would just have been way nicer spelled as just a regular major 2nd). Likewise here: you could have spelled the E as well as an Fb perhaps? That would make the intervals between all the tones more obvious in this phrase. The Db in the 2nd measure could also have been a C# given the minor 3rd distance to E.Those are all just my personal enharmonic nitpicks for this piece. Overall, I enjoyed listening to this even though I usually don't enjoy solo instrument piece unless they're polyphonic. Thanks for sharing!
