A reedy Double, (a double reading for Doublereeder), for oboe solo or 2 oboes (ad libitum also oboe solo with a Bordun of 2 horns or 2 clarinets or 2 strings)

Originally, Heinz Holliger wrote this humorous, yet demanding study not as an independent showpiece or encore, but as a component of his Concerto für Orchester with the meaningful subtitle 'con soli per tutti'. It is effective as a solo piece or can be performed by an oboe duo - or even be combined with the drone of other instruments indicated in the musical text.
