ABOUT:
15 Inventions for Solo Oboe owes much to the Two- and Three-Part Inventions for keyboard by J.S.Bach. Like the keyboard compositions, the oboe pieces in this collection emerged from a desire to create complete works of pedagogical value from musical fragments. In this instance the ‘fragments’ are taken from the corresponding Two- and Three-Part Inventions, and an effort has been made to gradually expose the perspective performer to difficulties associated with some of the more contemporary aspects of oboe technique.

15 Inventions for Solo Oboe was written for the Australian oboist, Shefali Pryor, and was premiered at St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney on the 6th of November 2006 by Shefali, along with Diana Doherty and Alexandre Oguey.
