              <text>This piece was composed in 1982 for Kat Huffman. Based on &lt;em&gt;Guernica&lt;/em&gt;, the famous painting by Pablo Picasso depicting the horrors of the Spanish Civil war, the music takes a simple peasant song, the &lt;em&gt;Canto del Cavallero&lt;/em&gt; by Antonio de Cabezon (1510-1566), and through atonal “sonorous distortion” attempts to depict the trauma of modern warfare inflicted on a civilian populace. The music is moderately challenging and the range extends only to C5. It requires some extended techniques (multiphonics, tremolos, glissandi, and tongue-slaps). Instructions are clear, and the composer requests that, if possible, a picture of the painting be projected on a screen behind the performer.</text>

Keywords may be used to locate works using a wide variety of parameters, such as a particular composer and/or title, instrumentation (e.g. contrabassoon), gender, a country or nationality (e.g. Venezuela or Venezuelan), a duration (e.g. 6 minutes), a compositional style (e.g. avant-garde or jazz), range limit (e.g. C#5), difficulty level (e.g. moderately easy), extended techniques in general or one in particular (e.g. multiphonics or singing while playing), or a year of composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The resource is incomplete, and additions and corrections are welcomed. Please contact Jon Beebe at beebejp@appstate.edu if you are able to offer assistance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The repertoire for unaccompanied bassoon is valuable for a number of reasons. Whether music is chosen for study or performance, the technical challenges are often formidable, bringing into play parameters such as texture and color that might be less salient in accompanied music. Just as an extended monologue is a supreme test for an actor, so too is the unaccompanied solo, of which a performer must have an intimate knowledge that transcends the superficial aspects in order to present a truly engaging performance. This can be especially challenging, given the diversity and complexity of modern musical techniques, languages, and styles. And finally, the better pieces seem to embody the intrinsic personae of one of the most idiosyncratic, challenging, and unique musical instruments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How the Difficulty Levels Are Applied to the Music &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The compositions on this site have been divided into five difficulty levels: Easy, Moderately Easy, Moderately Challenging, Challenging, and Very Challenging.

              <text>First conceived for bass clarinet, this piece was written for and dedicated to Shannon Peet in 1991. The music is marked “gritty and hard,” and is a very appealing, but also very challenging, fusion of rock and minimalist elements. The full range up to D5 is employed, and rapid leaps of nearly three octaves are frequent occurrences.</text>

Keywords may be used to locate works using a wide variety of parameters, such as a particular composer and/or title, instrumentation (e.g. contrabassoon), gender, a country or nationality (e.g. Venezuela or Venezuelan), a duration (e.g. 6 minutes), a compositional style (e.g. avant-garde or jazz), range limit (e.g. C#5), difficulty level (e.g. moderately easy), extended techniques in general or one in particular (e.g. multiphonics or singing while playing), or a year of composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The resource is incomplete, and additions and corrections are welcomed. Please contact Jon Beebe at beebejp@appstate.edu if you are able to offer assistance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The repertoire for unaccompanied bassoon is valuable for a number of reasons. Whether music is chosen for study or performance, the technical challenges are often formidable, bringing into play parameters such as texture and color that might be less salient in accompanied music. Just as an extended monologue is a supreme test for an actor, so too is the unaccompanied solo, of which a performer must have an intimate knowledge that transcends the superficial aspects in order to present a truly engaging performance. This can be especially challenging, given the diversity and complexity of modern musical techniques, languages, and styles. And finally, the better pieces seem to embody the intrinsic personae of one of the most idiosyncratic, challenging, and unique musical instruments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How the Difficulty Levels Are Applied to the Music &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The compositions on this site have been divided into five difficulty levels: Easy, Moderately Easy, Moderately Challenging, Challenging, and Very Challenging. While there is no absolute formula, six factors have been considered in determining an appropriate level for each piece: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. top-most pitch and extent of high register usage &lt;br /&gt;2. key signatures/changes or accidentals &lt;br /&gt;3. clef &lt;br /&gt;4. rhythmic/metric complexity &lt;br /&gt;5. amount of conjunct vs. disjunct motion &lt;br /&gt;6. the use of extended techniques.</text>

Keywords may be used to locate works using a wide variety of parameters, such as a particular composer and/or title, instrumentation (e.g. contrabassoon), gender, a country or nationality (e.g. Venezuela or Venezuelan), a duration (e.g. 6 minutes), a compositional style (e.g. avant-garde or jazz), range limit (e.g. C#5), difficulty level (e.g. moderately easy), extended techniques in general or one in particular (e.g. multiphonics or singing while playing), or a year of composition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The resource is incomplete, and additions and corrections are welcomed. Please contact Jon Beebe at beebejp@appstate.edu if you are able to offer assistance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The repertoire for unaccompanied bassoon is valuable for a number of reasons. Whether music is chosen for study or performance, the technical challenges are often formidable, bringing into play parameters such as texture and color that might be less salient in accompanied music. Just as an extended monologue is a supreme test for an actor, so too is the unaccompanied solo, of which a performer must have an intimate knowledge that transcends the superficial aspects in order to present a truly engaging performance. This can be especially challenging, given the diversity and complexity of modern musical techniques, languages, and styles. And finally, the better pieces seem to embody the intrinsic personae of one of the most idiosyncratic, challenging, and unique musical instruments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How the Difficulty Levels Are Applied to the Music &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The compositions on this site have been divided into five difficulty levels: Easy, Moderately Easy, Moderately Challenging, Challenging, and Very Challenging. While there is no absolute formula, six factors have been considered in determining an appropriate level for each piece: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. top-most pitch and extent of high register usage &lt;br /&gt;2. key signatures/changes or accidentals &lt;br /&gt;3. clef &lt;br /&gt;4. rhythmic/metric complexity &lt;br /&gt;5. amount of conjunct vs. disjunct motion &lt;br /&gt;6. the use of extended techniques.</text>

              <text>This piece was commissioned by Lynn Moran Riccardo in 1977, and premiered by her that year at the Juilliard School. The elements of jazz are confined to the rhythm in the four variations that follow the theme. The music is pitch-centric, but intentionally does not follow the melodic or harmonic progressions associated with jazz. The music is moderately challenging, and the full range is used up to D5. Some extended techniques (glissandi and vibrato manipulations) are required.</text>

              <text>This piece was commissioned by Svenska RiksKonserter, composed in 2002 and dedicated to Henrik Blixt. It was premiered on May 25, 2003 at Saltsjöbaden, Grünewaldvillan, Norway. This is a very challenging and marginally pitch-centric avant-garde piece that includes among its extended techniques multiphonics (fingerings not provided), timbral trills, glissandi, flutter-tonguing, and harmonics. The range extends from Ab1 (with an “ossia” limited to Bb1) all the way up to F5.</text>
