Most of the music for Rose's 32 Etudes was originally
composed for the oboe by Franz Wilhelm Ferling. First
published in 1840, Ferling's 48 Studies, op. 31, includes
slow lyrical studies as well as virtuosic technical etudes
in each major and relative minor tonality. While
maintaining the basic melodic structure by Ferling, Rose
expanded the range to include the lower notes of the
clarinet and changed some of the technical requirements.
A direct comparison with Ferling is not easy since Rose
transposed the keys and often made the etudes longer than
those of Ferling. In this new edition, edited by John
Anderson, a small number of notes and accidentals have
been changed to correspond better with the original
melodies in Ferling. Music composition is a living thing
and can be seen in various lights and angles, even by
the same performer at different times. Several
"suggestions" concerning interpretation and Rose's 32
Etudes are also included. Hopefully these will become
guidelines (but not "rules") for approaching other
works.
