Nocturnes op.9
arrangement for oboe and piano
‘Chopin’s soulful, ethereal themes have captivated audiences worldwide for generations. The elegant simplicity of his melodies conceals an intricate yet deeply effective composition design, all while retaining its distinctly Polish imprint. The lyrical quality of his nocturnes, along with the frequent use of the soprano register, makes these works particularly suitable for oboe transcription.
My transcription method aims to retain the integrity of the original sources while at the same time adapting the material for effective oboe performance. Drawing primarily from the Polish National Edition, edited by Jan Ekier, I have reinterpreted passages that posed challenges for the oboe, striving to emulate their original effect and mood.’
