This piece was composed in 2003 and is the first 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 Johannes Schwarz in Naples, Italy on 3/14/05.
