This piece for Flute, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon was premiered April 18th, 2012 in Istanbul by its commissioner, the Nis'tanbul Quartet, composed of Sibel Pensel, AysegĂŒl Kirmanoglu, Patrick Peignier and Arthur Menrath. Armando Ghidoni's Swinging Counterpoint keeps all of its title's promises: flowing with the same naturalness, the same fluidity as Bach's, the counterpoint masterfully blends the colours and the lilt of swing. Recorded by the Nis'tanbul Quartet for the label Chant de Linos, the work bursts with inspiration, a melodic sincerity and a joyful insouciance. / Quartette A Vent

Par HERPAY AGNES. Comprising four printed books and rich digital material, the Bassoon ABC is a modern and innovative instrumental method by Ágnes Herpay, a successful Hungarian bassoonist and teacher. The method itself comprises two volumes (Z. 20092, Z. 20093), while piano accompaniments have been published in two further volumes Z. 20092P, Z. 20093P). Sound recordings of all pieces in the Bassoon ABC are available online at Digikotta free of charge using the individual code in the printed book. In the case of pieces with piano accompaniment and those for two or three bassoons, the voices can also be played individually, which can be very helpful in music education if no chamber-music partner or accompanist is available. The Bassoon ABC is also suitable for students learning tenoroon (in F or G) or fagonello (bassoonello) because transposed versions of the recordings and the sheet music are also available at Digikotta. (Transposed sheet music of the piano accompaniments can be downloaded at Digikotta free of charge using the individual code in the printed piano accompaniment.) / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Méthode / Basson et Piano
