He quickly became one of the most prolific composers of the 18th century. His works inlcude count-less symphonies, operatic works, chamber music, and concerti. This Oboe concerto was written for Giuseppe Ferlendis, a well known oboist from Mo-zart’s day. This concerto is set in a traditional 3 movement form of fast-slow-fast.  Mozart captivating and cheerful  melodies are showcased throughout the first movement of the concerto, which in parts sound like they could be coming from a comic opera. In the second movement Mozart uses the oboes singing quality to portray an almost operatic aria, contrasted by a spritely Rondo in the final movement. A year after this work was written, Mozart wrote the famous Flute Concerto in D major transcribed from his Oboe Concerto in C Major.Howard J. Buss - De La MaderaHoward Buss’ compositions have received critical acclaim and have been per-formed in more than 50 countries. He has received numerous awards and his commissioned works include original compositions as well as arrangements. They have been performed musicians from major universities and members of prestigious organizations such as The Boston Symphony Orchestra, Buf-falo Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic and even our own Atlanta Symphony musicians. De La Madera was composed during the early months of 2006. The Spanish title means, “De La Madera” and refers not only to the material producing the tones, but also the alluring enchantment of the forest.  This beautiful and com-pelling duo mixes Buss’ unique style of soaring lyricism and exciting contrasts with spicy, Zesty Latin Rhythms! Basically as close to jazz as the oboe gets. Alex Sifuentes plays oboe in the Metro Atlanta area. He has performed with the Georgia Symphony Orchestra (as a substitute), Kennesaw State University Symphony, Wind Ensemble and Woodwind Quintet. He also gives lessons at several middle schools in the region. During the summer of 2012, he had the privilege of apprenticing with Ginger Ramsay (forewoman of  Covey Oboes) and extensively learned about the art of repair and manufacture. In the summer of 2008, he had the pleasure of touring with the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestra where he played in Prague, Budapest and Vienna. He has toured China in the winter of 2011 and played with the band Kansas in the fall of 2011 with the Kennesaw State Symphony Orchestra.  As a soloist he performed the Cimarosa Oboe Concerto with the Buckhead Youth Orchestra and works by Bach, Schumann, Saint-Saens, and Mozart at the student recit-als held in Kennesaw State. Mr. Sifuentes is currently working on an Oboe performance degree from Kennesaw State University along with a minor in Classical Studies. There he is studying under Ms. Elizabeth Koch Tiscione, principle oboist of the Atlanta Symphony.
