Abstract
Frigyes Hidas (1928-2007) made significant contributions in the field of compositions for wind instruments. His concertos for the oboe are great additions to the repertoire for this instrument. Yet, little has been written about them, and they are not widely studied or performed. This study provides background information on the composer, his approach to music, and his oboe concertos: the Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra (1951), the Concerto No. 2 for Oboe and Wind Ensemble (2000), and the Double Concerto for Oboe, Bassoon and Wind Ensemble (2001). It also provides performance notes and suggestions for these works.
