Bassoon Concerto, Op. 67 - I. Allegretto piacevole

Concerto for bassoon and orchestra, Op. 67 (2015) - I. Allegretto piacevole - Composer: Geert Van Hoorick - Digital performance using Sibelius 6 and Kontakt Gold - Feel free to comment. For the most recent version of the score see http://www.scoreexchange.com/scores/165732 and http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Van_Hoorick,_Geert This is a neo-classical bassoon concerto, not too demanding but with enough possibilities for the soloist to show off. The 1st movement is gracious and moderately fast and in sonata form; the movement contains a lyrical cadenza. The 2nd movement is a slow and moving cantilene, with a solemn and dramatic middle section, all built upon one theme. The final movement is a very up-tempo galop in rondo form.
