Sonata for
bassoon and piano is one
of Swiders first works
for a wind instrument. It
was written most probably
in the years 1953-1954,
under a clear influence
of neo-classicist
stylistics. The only
documented performance
took place on 5th May
1955 in Katowice, or
Stalinogrod, as such was
the name of that city in
those days. The first
part of Sonata is written
in a form of scherzando
of a light and witty
character, where the
composer fully uses the
facture and bassoons
sound potential. The
second part, full of
meditation and cantilena,
bears a particular
expression of lower
registers of the
instrument. Part three is
a traditional minuet in
moderato tempo, with
stylised folk elements in
the middle fragment. The
last part resumes the
scherzo form, capped by a
cadenza written by Marek
Baranski, in which
attempting to imitate the
language of Jozef
Swider's compositions
that include numerous
elements of a synthetic
finale he included most
music concepts outlined
in the entire Sonata.
