Description
The three etudes offer the accomplished oboist a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their technical and musical skills. The nearly ten-minute sequence of movements has clear references to South American music and impresses with its strong rhythmic and melodic contrasts. The piano part is of medium difficulty and offers rewarding pianistic challenges.
Jse de Lima Siqueira (19071985) joined the Banda Sinfnica da Escola Militar in Rio de Janeiro as a trumpet player in 1927. From 1928 to 1933, he studied composition and conducting with Francisco Braga and Walter Burle Marx at the Instituto Nacional de Msica.
