Tilework for Oboe is subtitled “Three Crossings.” In each movement some music starts at the left side of the staff, some other music starts at the right side of the staff, and with each successive staff they advance toward one another and eventually cross through one another. Quite a few oboists have tried this score, but I think Marika Lombardi is the first one who can play it without mistakes. I was delighted when she said she would record it in a studio, along with some baroque repertoire, which she also plays very well.
