dme.mozarteum.at/You can get the Mozart from there, though read the user agreement.

You can browse works by featured instrument, the following list of oboe works may be a start for you:

http://imslp.org/wiki/List_of_Compositi ... g_the_Oboe

These lists are created manually, so they are not going to be complete - anyone who sees a work which is not on a list is invited to add it. (far too much work for just the admins!)

There is also a list of works featuring the English horn.

I would like to second the request for concert band scores. While I know many standards are still under copyright and may be for a long time, some early ones must be available. I would love to see the two Holst Suites for Military Band (Op. 28, Nos. 1&2) if possible, though I do not know when the earliest full scores came out. (They were composed in 1909 and 1911 respectively.)

I think the lists of scores on ismlp featering the oboe, english horn or bassoon are rather complete.
Works for military band are not included because they have more orchestral character.
