Brandon, Jenni - Three Desert Fables for Solo Oboe
Britten, Benjamin - Six Metamorphoses After Ovid (for Solo Oboe), Op. 49
Cimarosa, Domenico - Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra
Handel, George Frideric - Four Sonatas
Jacob, Gordon - Seven Bagatelles
Marcello, Benedetto - Concerto in C Minor
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus - Oboe Concerto in C Major, K. 314
Nielsen, Carl - Fantasy Pieces, Op. 2
Still, William Grant - Incantation and Dance
Telemann, Georg Philipp - Sonata in A Minor
