Bassoon Concerto in A Minor

Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto in A Minor RV498 for Bassoon. This reduction for Bassoon and Piano edited by Leonard Skarrow.

for Woodwind Quintet-These two extraordinary works of late Mozart KV 594 and KV 608 were both composed to fulfill a commission for a memorial exhibit in Vienna to be played in a “mechanical clock organ.” The term “fantasy” or“fantasia” came to be affixed to these works later and is more descriptive and less cumbersome than the term Mozart listed in his own catalogue “Ein Stüke für ein Orgelwerk in ein Uhr.” They are also variouslytitled “Adagio und Allegro in f für ein Orgelwerk” and “Allegro und Andante (Fantasie in f) für eine Orgelwaltze.”The first of these composed between the monumental String Quintet in D and the Piano Concertoin Bb KV 595 is an A-B-A form comprised of an f minor Adagio opening and closing with a contrapuntal Allegro at its heart. KV 608 is more complicated opening with an f minor section reminiscent of a French Overture followed by a fugue in fminor then an Andante aria followed by a return to the opening and then a more complex version of the fugue.Despite the frustration that Mozart expressed (in a letter to Constanze) with the sound world of these mechanical devices KV 594and 608 are remarkable works which stand at an intersection incorporating what he learned about counterpoint studying at the foot of Bach while looking ahead to the emotional and harmonic poignancy of Schubert.

It is one of his most popular works and among the most popular of all Piano concerti. The second Adagio movement is a lyrical movement in D-flat major which leads directly into the third last movement. The enduringpopularity of Grieg's Piano Concerto has ensured its use in a wide variety of contexts and made it a favourite of audiences everywhere.The concerto was originally scored for 2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2Clarinets in A and B flat 2 Bassoons 2 Horns in E and E flat 2 Trumpets in C and B flat 2 Trombones Tuba Timpani and Strings but is now available in easy-to-play (Grade 3-4) solo Piano arrangement!

Strathclyde Concerto No. 6 (Flute Part)-The solo flute here is kept in high profile by the absence from the orchestra not only of other flutes but also of violins and oboes; in addition the trumpets are used sparingly (they do not for instance play in the slowmovement) so that for much of the time the flute is playing against a mellow ensemble of clarinets horns bassoons and low strings. If this is nevertheless one of Davies's most open-spirited pieces that comes partly from theready flights of the soloist partly from its glockenspiel accompaniments in the outer movements (replaced by ticking claves in the Adagio) partly from the dancing character of so much of the music and partly from the harmonicclarity in a light region not far from C minor.Flute part with piano reduction of the orchestral score.
