Three movements composed in 2020. The opening movement (Con brio) is jovial, using pungent articulations and frequent imitations between parts. A second theme in the bassoon's high register is rather sentimental by way of contrast. The second movement (Adagio drammatico) is Baroque in style, recalling sonatas of Vivaldi and others of that period. The piano serves as continuo while the bassoon spins an elaborate aria above and below, full of rhythmic variety and wide leaps. The third movement (Allegro pastorale) is calm throughout. The bassoon suggests woodlands and Arcadian feelings here. Reference is made to themes of the first and second movements before the sonata ends quietly. One volume Includes piano score and solo bassoon part in one binding. Duration 12 minutes.
