Traditionally, oboists have learned and performed standard oboe concerti by European composers. While learning these concerti is important to understand the foundations of the instrument, it can be a great benefit to classical music and the performer to begin to perform lesser-known concerti. This document may provide a resource for oboists to discover and locate concerti written by American composers. Information will be provided on how to locate the sheet music and recordings as well as ranking the difficulty of these concerti and providing program notes written by the composer.
