Impetus for the two-oboe arrangements started with a research project at Texas Tech University, titled, "Derivation of Thematic Single-Line Oboe Accompaniments to Accompany Standard Solo Oboe Repertoire.Ó The intent of the project was twofold: to produce in score form the original solo oboe part alongside a single-line thematic oboe accompaniment derived from melodic lines of piano or orchestral accompaniments of standard oboe repertoire, as well as provide a medium for duet playing, neither of which as solo with single-line oboe accompaniment or as duet literature has hither-to been available. A studentÕs acquired ability to fit a solo part with its accompaniment along with learning the appropriate solo entrances by this means will serve as a valuable tool to compliment and expedite a studentÕs progress in recital preparation as well as serve in the shear enjoyment of duet playing in performance with two oboists or two oboists and piano.
