Oboe - Leon Goossens, Edwin Roxburgh

Editorial: Schirmer Books Autor: Leon Goossens, Edwin Roxburgh Año: 1977 Estado: Antiguo. Buen estado. This book combines the talents and insights of the legendary virtuoso Leon Goossens and the contemporary composer/oboist Edwin Roxburgh, who bring to their discussion a rare completeness born of long experience, analytical objectivity, and emotional attachment that is unique for a work of this kind. They explore the long history of this most ancient of the reed instruments and assess its cultural heritage; examine the relative roles of composer and performer in extending the oboe's expressive and technical range through time; explain in detail the art of reed-making and the requirements of proper maintenance; and deal with virtually every practical problem of technique and interpretation. There are highly illuminating chapters on baroque, classical, romantic, and twentieth century styles and repertoires. Leon Goossens is justly renowned as the greatest oboe player of this century: Edwin Roxburgh is director of the contemporary music department at the Royal College of Music, and is active as a conductor, composer, and oboist.
