Program Notes

For each recital I perform, I always write program notes for my audience about the pieces.  I feel that if the audience knows something about the pieces and has things to listen for they will enjoy the performance more.  These are not meant to be scholarly works, but instead are for the average non-musician attending a concert.

Program notes are available for:

Boismortier - Sonata in G Major, Opus 50, No. 2 for bassoon and harpsichord/continuo

Edwards - Water Spirit Song for unaccompanied bassoon

Glinka - Allegro Moderato in g minor (first movement of viola Sonata in d minor) for bassoon and piano

Glinka - Trio Pathetique for clarinet, bassoon, and piano

Gubaidulina - Duo Sonata for two bassoons

Koechlin - Sonata Op 71 for bassoon and piano

Mignone - 16 Waltzes for solo bassoon

Weber - Concerto in F Major for bassoon and orchestra (or piano reduction)
