Sonatina (1939) - OB/PN

Sonatina (1939)
for oboe and piano
by Boris Vladimirovich Asaf'ev (1884-1949) - Russian composer and writer This is part of the Russian Oboe Music editions, edited by Marc Fink. This work is conventional form, including very a compelling folk song setting  in the slow movement. The Russian flavor pervades the entire work and there is genuine charm, wit, and humor throughout. A challenging and fun four movement work in the style of Shostakovich. Tuneful but with a certain edge!
