Autumn Embers (Oboe & Piano) (2006) - solo instrument & piano by Philip R Buttall (PRB Music)
This was originally titled A Simple Andante, and written for solo guitar. It is dedicated to guitarist, Alison Smith, who premiered the work at her recital in Plymouth in April, 2002. It does need, however, an excellent guitar technique, and as such cannot be described as 'simple'. On hearing her perform it so successfully, I feel that our idea to rename it Autumn Embers very much captured the nostalgic sentiments expressed.

Thank You
Firstly, I was so surprised when Philip offered to dedicate this piece to me that it really is a pleasure to be able to place the first review of this piece here for him in return.
I first heard this piece in its original form on Sibelius recently and as Philip wrote in his programme note I was quite taken by it's tunefulness and simplicity that I did feel I wanted to tell him myself. So to then learn that a piano and oboe version was coming was great news, and I'm really pleased with the way it sounds.
I'm already looking forward to playing it with my oboe tutor and who knows where else in the future. I think it's well within reach of most oboists and a nice addition to the 'easy listening' repertoire.
