Frustrated now because I wrote a careful answer to the post "Adieu" and it was rubbished by the system.
So in short:
I am an oboist, find "Adieu" challenging, would like to play it - pianist wife may have issues about accompaniment.
It reminds me of other oboe pieces (Britten, Metamorphoses), and Ysaye's Violin stuff.
It could do with a prelude, with the slower and more plaintive melodic capabilities of the instrument exploited.
And it could do with a longer and more secure conclusion - a coda - even in the required minor key.
I'll post this as is, though there's lots more to say, especially about musical scoring.
God bless,
L
