For advanced performers.______________________________________Text from the scanned back cover:Concerto for ContrabassoonContrabassoonist Norman Spielberg commissioned Dorff to create this concerto, knowing the composer is a bass clarinetist who celebrates extended-range instruments with the lyrical charm and supple technical facility of a hands-on woodwind performer. The 14-minute concerto is scored for Contrabassoon with Clarinet, Horn, and Strings. In addition to a fully performable piano reduction, the concerto is also published in a “Quartet Version” for Contrabassoon, Clarinet, Horn, and Piano, with the piano playing a reduction of the strings. The warmly-received concerto has been performed in all three scorings at annual IDRS conventions.
