This study explores Antal Dorati¡¦s (1906-1988) Five pieces for Solo Oboe (1980-81), a work consists of five short pieces: ¡§La cigale et la fourmie¡¨, ¡§Lettre d¡¦amour¡¨, ¡§Fugue a trois voix¡¨, ¡§Berceuse¡¨ and ¡§Legerdemain¡¨. The work illustrates a typical compositional style of Dorati. Five pieces for Solo Oboe demonstrates the composer¡¦s influence by early 20th century composers such as Arnold Schonberg and Luciao Berio. Nevertheless, the structure of piece can be related to traditional art music of Classical and late Romantic period. In addition, one witnesses the incorporation of folk idioms in the composition. The study is divided into three chapters. The first part focuses on the life and musical background and his creative outputs of Dorati. The second part analyzes the structure of selected work. As for the last part, I discuss the performance interpretation and its style.
