Nine Duets for Woodwind and Pianoforte

These nine duets were originally only one (Op.9. No.1.), which I wrote to explore the possibilities of using a woodwind instrument with the piano. The oboe, a favourite instrument of mine, was used because its tone fitted the theme so well. I enjoyed the composition so much that I expanded it into three, one with each of the main woodwind instruments (apologies to the bassoon!). With that completed, I decided to write some more pieces along the same lines and returned to the oboe once more....
