  • Johann Nepomuk Hummel - Variations for oboe & orchestra in F major, Op. 102, Diana Doherty (oboe), Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Werner Andreas Albert (conductor)
    Adagio - Theme (Allegretto) - Variation 1 - Variation 2 - Variation 3 (Cantabile e un poco sostenuto) - Variation 4 - Tempo di Valse, non troppo Presto
    Johann Nepomuk Hummel (14 November 1778 - 17 October 1837) was an Austrian composer, performer, and teacher who definitely achieved international stature, and though music-lovers of today are aware of much more than just his name, he still tends to be dismissed as second-rate. A few minutes actually spent listening to his music dispel this attitude right away. No, he was not another Mozart or Beethoven: very few artists in any generation are endowed with that degree of genius. Even with a lesser spark of genius, though, he left a legacy well worth reinvigorating.
    “His output was extraordinarily varied and included numerous operas, cantatas, masses, chamber music and several concertante works besides those for the piano. The most obviously missing genre is that of the symphony, very possibly stemming from his friendly yet ardent rivalry with Beethoven, whose monumental symphonic achievement deterred Hummel from writing anything with which he might be ungainfully compared. But this oboe work of Hummel's has survived, whereas Beethoven's oboe concerto, if it were indeed fully composed, supposedly perished in a fire at his publisher's; and so in the absence of what might have been the greatest oboe concerto of the early Romantic period, oboists today rely on works like Hummel's Variations for oboe and orchestra, now known as his Op. 102. The autograph score for this work is now in the possession of the British Museum and, like the Bellini work, has basically come into circulation only since the 1960s. It is a fine example of late Classicism rather than a truly Romantic work, with ornate and virtuosic melodies spinning over an embroidered homophonic accompaniment.” (by Lyle Chan, notes for album)

    This work is very familar in some ways because a part of variation has been used for signal sound of a certain program for KBS(Korea Broadcasting System).

    Here's one of few compositions of Hummel I didn't know yet, thanks for your choice of the day! The initial adagio is a masterpiece of peaceful meditation but also the following main body is not at all an occasional piece of music but gas got very elegant continuous flowing of oboe and discreetly accompaniment of orchestra, absolutely without easy-capturing effects, yet pleasant and easy-going nusiic. The finale is rather conventional but the overall balance of this piece is thumbs-up and well crafted.
    All in all pleasant discovery

      Thank you, my friend, it is a work I really like, especially in this performance.
      Some sites indicate that this work is an arrangement for oboe of Nocturne op. 99. My opinion is that it would rather be an arrangement of Glinka's work “Memory of Friendship, Variations on the Nocturne op 99 by Hummel" (Glinka orchestrated Hummel's Nocturne)
      And now to smile a little: about 10 years ago I posted it on another site, and a friend (oboist) did not know either the work or Diana Doherty. He "fell in love" with it for good! (or, maybe, with Diana... :) )
      A good weekend to you!
