CONCERTINO
FOR BASSOON, Opus 171 was
commissioned by Dr. Mark
Rogers and was premiered
in April 2023 by the
University of Kansas Wind
Ensemble, Dr. Paul Popiel
conductor, with Eric
Stomberg playing bassoon.
The work is in one
movement. Like so many
famous works for bassoon,
it is based in F major.
The piece is in a
modified five-part rondo
form, with the slow
middle portion in Bb
serving as the B theme.
Rather jolly in nature,
the work is intended to
show off not only the
happy nature of the
bassoon, but also to
demonstrate its
expressive lyricism and
dazzling technique.
