Summary of This Score
Some study collections hold more weight than others, and Franz Wilhelm Ferling's (1796-1874) is one of the cornerstones of oboist training. Often regarded as the "oboist's bible," it combines technical rigor, musicality, and phrasing sense, with the discreet romanticism that permeates the entire collection. This edition gathers the first 25 studies of the original version, offering an ideal progression to develop instrumental ease while building expressive playing.
The uniqueness of this publication lies in its duo conception. The first voice remains extremely faithful to the original text, preserving Ferling's musical intent and technical objectives. The second voice, conceived as accompaniment, transforms the study into a true chamber music moment: it helps stabilize tempo, work on listening, intonation, and balance, while making the session livelier and more motivating.
Alexis Ciesla crafted this second part with the concern to blend into the style, respecting the turns and romantic color that surface throughout the collection. The result: ideal material for playing in pairs (two students, teacher and student), but also for preparing a lesson, audition, or even a concert. These "little gems" gain depth when shared, and both audience and performers find genuine listening pleasure.
To reinforce home practice, the score is accompanied by two downloadable versions to listen to: an audio version and a video version. A valuable asset to refine style, check articulations, develop regularity, and build a sound reference before fully mastering each study.
