REVIEW ON VIENNA
STRASSE (BASSOONISTS' RATINGS)
Short,
charming pieces, including "L'Apres-midi d'un Dinosaur."
Limited range, but requires good projection of character and some
staccato tonguing in the Polka. Joubert, Claude-Henry. Cinq pièces
faciles (Editions Robert Martin) $10.75. Bsn=2. Solo bassoon. The one
minute mov'ts. are - Prelude, Petite fugue, Sarabande, Menuet, and
Gigue. The work has limited technique and range demands, while
retaining musical and rhythmic interest. The Prelude is particularly
beautiful.
