    I heard this at a bassoon studio recital and it is interesting to listen to and a lovely piece when well played. This is an unaccompanied piece worthy of the bassoon repertoire.

  • April 29, 2008 For Bassoonists wanting a real challenge...

    This piece requires the utmost musicality and agility on the instrument. Definitely not a piece to take too lightly. The melodies are beautiful and the pace is exhilarating! It will take a few months to work up, but is a great piece to expand dynamic control, tone production, and intonation...

    . This piece is fantastic overall. Everyone has fun making it their own. Might I suggest standing up to play it? It helped me get my one at contest.
