Description:
With his "Suite for Oboe and Piano" from 1939, Pavel Haas reacts to the threatening political situation in his environment. The Czech composer of Jewish origin sends an unmistakable signal here by quoting the St. Wenceslas Chorale and an excerpt from the Hussite song "Die ihr Gottes Streiter sind" (Who are God's Warriors), referring to earlier Reformation-revolutionary Czech movements. In the fifteen-minute suite, the full mastery of the mature composer, who was one of Leoš Janácek's most gifted students, unfolds. The melody, which is based on the rhythm of the speech, is reminiscent of the great teacher. The declamatory oboe part is juxtaposed with the independent, partly percussive piano part. Together, the two instruments develop great rhythmic energy and expressiveness.
This edition presents the oboe suite in its original form for the first time. Earlier editions of Lubomír Peduzzi (1962, 1993) included changes in the oboe part made by the first interpreter of the work, oboist František Suchý. The editor, Ondrej Pivoda, has completely freed the work from the surviving arrangements, restoring the vocal character of the oboe part intended by Haas, among other things. The editor's foreword is followed by notes by the renowned oboist Juri Vallentin, professor at the Karlsruhe University of Music.
