Orchestral excerpts - Don't play alone

The present masterclass contemplates the study of orchestral repertoire for oboe using orchestral passages transcribed for oboe ensemble. Masmano invites the student not only to work individually, in order to deal with the performance of an orchestral passage, but also to place special emphasis on collective work, by playing arrangements of the most significant orchestral passages in an oboe section (3 oboes, oboe d’amore and English horn). This approach offers students a more global vision and gives them a certain degree of autonomy in their musical criteria, thanks to the knowledge of what happens during the performance of an orchestral passage (intonation, harmony, tempo, pulse, textures, balance, etc.)
