Canzonetta
Samuel Barber | 7 min
Instrumentation:Oboe & strings
Commission:Commissioned by Paul Dombrecht.
Canzonetta, written in 1978, was intended to be the slow movement of an oboe concerto commissioned by the New York Philharmonic. No other movements were composed and the concerto was left unfinished at the time of Barber's death in 1981. I made this new orchestration of the original piano manusript for Paul Dombrecht.
