Concerto for oboe and strings (Reduction for oboe and piano)

A capricious, lyrical, and nostalgic work, it is often considered to be Vaughan Williams's most successful work in this form.

The first movement is pastoral in feeling. The second movement begins with a minuet, light and staccato in nature with a middle section featuring a musette's characteristic long-held drone played by the oboe with the melody in the strings.

The third movement is a scherzo and two trios.
