Kathryn Potter, Poems for Oboe Solo (6 - 10). Alex Klein, oboe

“Kathryn Potter's works are 'great music' because through them she invites the performer to experiment musically and to find ever new levels of artistic bliss. At an age when so much music is being created, and so much of it matters little whether we play it softer, louder, move it or feel it, Potter's music reminds us of the important balance between creation and performance, arguably because she is both a composer and an oboist. What I look for in great music is the ability to respect and learn from the point of view of a composer, yet interact with that music in an honest matter, bringing in my own feelings to the discourse. I feel I can do that with Potter's music, and learn more from it every time I open the score" - Alex Klein, 2021
