Performed by Janet Grice bassoon Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen piano This collection of classic pieces scored for solo bassoon with piano accompaniment covers a huge span of time and musical styles from Bach (Bourrée I and II) to Dukas's Sorcerer's Apprentice. Includes selections from Carmen L'Elisir d'amore Pictures at an Exhibition and many many more! Includes a high-quality printed solo part and a compact disc containing a complete performance presented in split-channel format with the piano accompaniment on the left channel and bassoon soloist on the right channel. This affords the player the ability to easily dial in or out the reference solo part. (Notethat due to publisher's restrictions there is no printed part included for the two Grice selections.)

Fg. Par GERNOT WOLFGANG. ...clever, finely-crafted, interesting modern work for the bassoon (...) Wolfgang's style is fundamentally atonal, but highly developmental, utilizing very interesting melodic and rhythmic motives to bind the music together. The influences of jazz and rock are clearly audible, and the entire structure has a wonderful sense of finesse and completion. (...) If you are looking for a tough-but-fun composition for your next performance, this neat work will fill the bill very well. I recommend it strongly to all you brave bassoonists out there looking for a nifty challenge. (Double Reed, Vol. 31.No. 2) ...This little sketch for bassoon, which highlights both its energetic and its lyrical capabilities, is quite delightful. Even multiphonics are used imaginatively and to musically sensible effect, rather than displaying their more common function as exercises in ugliness. ...'
