My recital is set
Saturday April 19 2008
Cooper’s Oboe Recital (Non Degree)
When: Tuesday, May 20th, 7pm
Where: Central Presbyterian Church, Main Sanctuary, 15th and Patterson.
What:
- Tomasi×Evocations
- Telemann×d minor Tafelmusik Quartet
- Saint Saens×Sonata for Oboe
- Hanson×Pastorale
- Hindemith×Sonata for Oboe
The purpose of this recital, as my professor explained, is to get some “oboe standards” recorded “in concert” and to push my comfort level out the window. I personally think the Tomasi single-handedly does that, but what’s one or five solo pieces now and then?

Hi Cooper,
I’d really like to hear one of your concerts sometime. An
invitation would be most welcome as long as it’s not on a
Tuesday night, but I might forgo orchestra rehearsal to see you
play.
Thanks

Hi Bautbois, Thanks for the note. One most definitely plays this music WITH music. I might be inclined to play one piece without music, but that’s a lot of pieces with a lot of notes, and it’s perfectly acceptable to play with music.
Judy, Unfortunately this is on a Tuesday, but I hope you can make it.
Ben, it’d be great to have you! Funny how things come full circle, eh? I still remember going to your recital! Hopefully Dr. Moore will come as well, so you can catch up with him.

I’m still impressed! That’s a lot of phenomenal music. As one who was never really trained to play from memory, I think it would be a real challenge under pressure (unless you just have one of those brains that can soak up music like a sponge). Hey, I’d definitely attend your recital if you weren’t 3000 miles away!
Speaking of memorization, how about memorization AND choreography? Check this out:

First off, I misread the first comment. Reading “without music” not as in “without sheet music” but just that there would be no music (sound!) at the recital, if you know what I mean. I’m weird that way. 
Wish I could go, Cooper. May 20th I’ll be playing a musical (Beauty and the Beast). Oh well.
Do you want me to post the recital announcement at my site? I will only do that with your permission, okay?

Bautbois, that is certainly impressive! To memorize a part of a score, and to top it off, it’s Ligeti… Amazing!
This is quite cool too, but it’s not music.
Check it out!

Just out of curiosity, does one play such a recital without music?
