Description
First conceived in 1979, the bassoon version was composed in 1995 for Klaus Hubmann. The music is atonal and includes among its extended techniques breath sounds, key slaps, glissandi, and ad-lib choreography. It is very motivic and rhythmically challenging, with a good mix of lyrical and technical material. The top-most pitch is only A4.
