March of the
Day
The
subtitle says it all, I
think. The piece has
three main ideas each in
the contrasting keys of
Bb, Eb and F majors. Can
you find a different
character for each one?
The danger for
bassoonists in this sort
of piece is that
everything can sound
accented, so be careful
to follow the
articulation marks as
closely as you
can.
Rondo
lettinetto
Th
is is all about building
phrases through
repetition. It relies
largely, therefore, on
control of the sound. Try
to achieve a really
obvious contrast of
character between the
opening phrases and the
less refined con spirito
episode. This might be
played just a touch
faster than the opening
and closing sections, if
you wish. There is a hint
of gentle parody in this
piece if you can find a
way of expressing that
too.
Sand-
dance
Kid
This
piece stretches the
compass and range of
expression even further.
There are very obvious
contrasts of staccato and
legato and the phrase
lengths of the middle
section are far from
regular. Try to scale
down the dynamics at the
end so that you end as
softly as you can
play.
