Description
The music is pitch-centric and moderately challenging, with a range extending to C5. A through-composed Adagio leads to a ternary Allegro scherzando featuring many meter changes. The bassoon may be supported in many passages by a contrabassoon, sounding an octave lower of course, or the piece may be played by bassoons "en masse."
