August de Boeck (1865-1937) was a Belgian composer and organist. His music is characterized by traditional harmony; especially Boeck’s chamber music with oboe is notable for its tender lyricism and pastoral atmosphere. Martin Grabert (1868-1951) served as organist at various churches in Berlin. The Sonata op. 52 for oboe and piano is very much in the manner of the (late) Romantic era. It contains few if any features of Modernism, and is notable for its wonderful melodic lines. Giovanni Bolzoni (1841-1919) was an Italien violinist, composer, conductor and teacher. His Fantasia presents an alternation of soft notes and expressive phases with lively and stirring moments. Reinhold Glière (1875-1956), was born in Kiev. The 2 Pieces for Oboe and Piano presented here display strongly late-Romantic features. The Chanson, like the Andante, could be described as two lyrical scenes. Robert Schumann (1810-1856) composed his Opus 70 in just 4 days, originally scored for horn and piano. The Adagio displays richly poetic and lyrical characteristics in contrast to the agitated, lively Allegro. Bill Douglas (*1944) is a Canadian composer, pianist and bassoonist. He composed his Sonata for Oboe and Piano in 2004. It is influenced by Jazz, West African rhythms and by British Isles folk music
