Bass oboe concerto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A relative of the oboe and having the same note range as the oboe, but sounding an octave lower, the bass oboe is able to play any work written for traditional oboe - it will however sound an octave lower. A very small number of concertos have been written for the bass oboe.

These include concertos by the following composers:
