Abstract

Deux Rapsodies for oboe, viola and piano by Charles Martin Loeffler has become a staple of the chamber repertoire for both viola and oboe, admired for its strikingly evocative themes and programmatic effects. Here, Miller explores how Loeffler incorporates the programmatic elements illuminated by the text setting of his vocal Rapsodies into his instrumental Deux Rapsodies. She also delves into the tragic circumstances and emotional vulnerability surrounding these compositions.
