For this reason, it is often played with the piano reduction instead of the orchestra in oboe recitals. However, the existing piano reductions include many errors and discrepancies from the orchestral score, misrepresent the orchestration, sometimes fail to make the oboe entries clear, and tend to be unplayable for pianists.

I have prepared a new, playable piano reduction to represent the orchestration more faithfully and help pianists work with their soloists more easily.
