SANCAN, Pierre

Sonatine for oboe and piano

II. Andante

Ramón Ortega Quero, professor

Jimena Miranda Claveria, student

Alina Artemyeva, accompanying pianist

For the second movement, Ortega generally asks the student to seek more continuity in the vibrato throughout long phrases — it should not stop and restart — and to be more attentive to avoid exaggerated changes in tone color.
Going back to the beginning, the professor notes that the opening bars require more character, more expressiveness, and a mezzo piano dynamic so that the energy doesn’t drop too much afterwards.
They mainly focus on phrasing, character, agogics, and vibrato — which should be even and continuous, and in some moments more present and emotional (not just natural). At the end, in the semplice section, he recommends aiming for a lighter sound.
