Changing Keys: Piano Works Transcribed for Oboe and Marimba

Changing Keys: Piano Works Transcribed for Oboe and Marimba

Wood+Wind Duo is performing this recital in conjunction with a larger project of transcribing works originally written for piano to be played on oboe and keyboard percussion. The duo has noticed a severe lack of repertoire for this instrumentation, and through this project they aim to bridge this gap. Furthermore, they wish to inspire others to take up similar projects with their friends and colleagues on instrumentations for which very little music has been written. The three pieces on this recital are works by notable female composers from the Romantic and Post-Romantic Eras, who were musical trailblazers at a time when there was little reception to works by women.
