Concerto for Bassoon

with Piano; "Concerto for Bassoon" for bassoon and piano by Howard J. Buss was composed during 2016 and 2017 and is dedicated to Arnold Irchai.

Cast in two movements, "Reminiscences" and "Excursions", the music spans a wide range of moods and timbral atmospheres, ranging from lyric tenderness to forceful, aggressive sections. The piano score and solo part is included. (19’) Grade V-VI.
