Description
Composed in 1999, this piece requires a “walking bassoonist.” While only technically moderately challenging, and ascending only to Bb4, the music requires some extended techniques: choreography, multiphonics, quarter tones, and glissandi. Like the title, the music and actions are palindromic.
