This piece was composed in 2003 and is the fourth in the Legno series for bassoon. This is a challenging atonal avant-garde work that features numerous extended techniques including multiphonics (some with glissandi), pitch-bending, harmonics, and timbral manipulations and trills. Very little traditional bassoon technique is employed. It was premiered by Lorelei Dowling in Graz, Austria on 11/26/06.
