Drei Romanzen for violin and piano op. 22 (version for oboe and piano)

1. Andante molto

Hansjörg Schellenberger, professor

Juan Manuel García-Cano, student

Alina Artemyeva, accompanying pianist

First of all, Hansjörg Schellenberger suggests the student to modify some notes at the end of the piece for a better adaptation, regarding that the original work is for violin. Then, he makes some indications about dynamical rapport between both instruments, phrasing, tempo, when breathing suits better, ornaments, etc.
In this type of music, it must exist a continuous dialog. After a consideration about tuning, professor Schellenberger makes some recommendations about the behavior of the student on stage and his gestures towards the pianist. As a conclusion, Schellenberger mentions that this first Romanza is the most sensitive.
