Bass oboe concerto

Bass oboe concerto

The bass oboe, a relative of the oboe having the same note compass as the latter, is able to play any work written for oboe - it will, however, sound an octave lower. In addition a very small number of concertos have been written for the bass oboe and for a related instrument with the same range, the Heckelphone. These include the following:

20th Century

* Concerto for Bass Oboe, "The East Coast", by Gavin Bryars
* Concerto for Heckelphone and Orchestra (1979), opus 60 by Hans Mielenz
* Concertino for Heckelphone and String Orchestra by Henri Wolking

21st Century
