Vade Mecum of the Oboist: 230 Selected Technical and Orchestral Studies Paperback – July 1, 1958

A comprehensive collection of solo and thematic material for oboe and even english horn. This book is a necessity for anyone studying either instrument, especially those who are pursuing a performance degree. You will not regret having this book on hand, both for playing from and for reference.

The Vade Mecum is an excellent volume for those who need acquintance with some of the major works of the classical repetoire.

It has everything an oboist needs. Scales, studies, recital pieces,and orchestral excerpts.

Bought this for my son. It was suggested by a friend. He loves it! Crazy, awesome stuff! Hard, but loves it.

My oboe player was using her teacher's worn copy. We were happy to find one for her to own and with the spiral binding it is much easier to keep flat on the music stand. The pages are a bit light as is the cover and I worry about tears, but fro the price it is grand.

I love it!

Not as many works as what was thought, but decent overall. Great technical studies.
