Little is known about Ludwig Wiedemann, the composer of the present 45 Etuden , without which the teaching of oboists would be unthinkable. Upon closer examination, the designation "Etuden" does not really do justice to the works: they are nothing less than genuine little character pieces. This has undoubtedly contributed to their great popularity. Also noteworthy is the structure of the collection: From nos. 1 to 29 Wiedemann strolls leisurely through the loosely disposed flat keys (there is no Etude with four flats!) with a rising number of accidentals up to nos. 16 and 17, before descending in sharp keys and finding his way back to C major. Technically and musically more demanding pieces follow from no. 30 on, whereby Wiedemann only once supplies a concrete reference to a genre with the term "Bolero" (no. 34).
