About the book
Franz Wilhelm Ferling (1796–1874) was a German oboist, and his 48 Studies for Oboe, Op. 31 are a standard set of études for the instrument: each is a single page for the unaccompanied oboe, and they go through the keys in fours: two studies in a major key, then two in its relative minor, from C major through G, F, D, B♭ and A.
The print. This is the edition of M. A. Ivanov (Moscow: Gosmuzizdat, 1949). Its tempo words are Italian, glossed in Russian beside them; the gloss is left out here. The print has no metronome marks, so the starting tempos in the app are suggestions worked from the words; set your own. A comma above the staff is a breath mark.
What is here. All forty-eight studies.
