Sonatina for Oboe and Trumpet or Clarinet - A slow introduction gives way to a spritely allegro in the first movement with lots of syncopation. An allegretto in mainly 5/8 with a lot of imitation creates contrast in the second movement. The allegro final movement is rhythmic and playful with a short recapitulation of the first movement’s slow introduction. Advanced

Three Flirtations for Oboe and Trumpet - "Three Flirtations" is a musical description of courtship. The three movements are cyclical in that the recurring descending minor triad "motif of love" occurs in all three movements. "Innocent" is a flirtation between two good friends whose friendship is blossoming into love but they don’t quite know it. "Sultry" can be described as a dance of seduction with both parties overtly expressing their attraction to each other, yet with an air of mystery. "Coy" begins with the "motif of love" transformed into a staccato teasing motif. The more aggressive teasing and playfulness permeate this movement but two lyrical sections that are more innocent in nature interrupt it. The ending builds in intensity along with the passion of the two lovers but ends with a brief return to the playful ideas. Both musicians play from the score. Advanced
