JOHNSTONE – Sonata for OBOE SOLO

Other Identification:
‘Sonata for Oboe Solo’ was written in 2008 for oboe, an instrument with a repertoire somewhat limited in works without the accompaniment of piano. This work uses all the playing register of the instrument in a composition that is sometimes complex, but which is of great propulsion and direct projection.

Movements or sections:
Detailed information on each movement is offered in the PDF download.
Three movements –
I – Con moto
II – Como un Sicilienne lento
III – Allegro moderato ma con fuoco
Duration – about 12 mins.
….
All music and notes in 1 PDF.

Instrumentation:
Solo Oboe.

Approximate difficulty:
Traditional classical writing, but very difficult.

Dedicatee of this presentation (if applicable):
– it was written for, and dedicated to, the fine Navarre oboist Iñigo Oses with whom Johnstone occasionally plays with great pleasure.

Links (Audio – Visual), and known performances given by:
Very surprisingly, but perhaps only because of its difficulty, this ample work does not appear to have been premiered (yet!).

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
