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.
