Oboe Duet - Intermediate - Digital Download SKU: F2.FM118 Composed by Max Reger. Arranged by Robert Rainford. Score. 14 pages. Forton Music - Digital #FM118. Published by Forton Music - Digital (F2.FM118). ISBN 9790570480173.Two duets by Reger, arranged for two oboes. The first movement is a compete canon, with the second player entering after half a bar. The second duet has a similar feel but is more fugal, with the second part being more independant of the first. This contrapuntal texture gives the music a Baroque feel, but the wide ranging keys, multiple time changes and dramatic dynamics add a more Romantic dimension to the pieces. Fairly short pieces (about 40 bars and about 50 bars) but marked at Vivace and Allegro con spirito, these are around grade 5-6 standard.
