You don't name the piece. There is sheet music for a quintet for oboe, horn, 2
violas & cello available here.
<http://www.sheetmusic.onlinesite.com.au/?composer=Fiala_COM___Joseph>
And a divertimento with oboes.

He seems to have been flexible (as were many composers of his time) about
primary instrument. Might it be the D major
concerto for flute, or even the bassoon concerto with the solo part transcribed
up?
<http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/s?q=Joseph+Fiala>
The orchestral works I see don't include an oboe concerto.

There is a sinfonia, no 6 here.

A web search suggests not.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. To convert the CD of Fiala to sheet
music? To create sheet music of your own
composition?
The answer to no. 2 is to get a MIDI keyboard, connect it to a computer and use
software like Notation Composer.

That's probably the closest answer to no. 1, as well. You could play the oboe
and piano parts into the computer
directly. Recreating the whole thing from there could be as simple as assigning
parts of the piano score to various
instruments or as complex as spending hours with the recording (on the
computer, with software to slow it down and work
through it.) extracting the orchestration details.
