French composer André Jolivet wrote his Concerto for Bassoon, String Orchestra, Harp and Piano in 1953-1954. It was premièred on 30 November 1954 by Maurice Allard and the Orchestre Radio-Symphonique de Paris.〔(IRCAM data sheet )〕 It lasts about 13 minutes〔 and is considered one of the most difficult concertos in the instrument's repertoire.〔(International Double Reed Society Forum, January 2008 )〕 ==Overview== The concerto is in four movements. Echoing the Baroque slow-fast-slow-fast Sonata da chiesa,〔Breier, Albert (2005), ''20th Century Bassoon Concertos'', (Capriccio Records - 67-139), liner notes (translated by Janet and Michael Berridge).〕 it also displays influence from Neo-classicism and Jazz.〔(Musicweb-international.com CD Review - Jonathan Woolf )〕 The serene opening ''Recitativo'' displays the large range of the bassoon〔 while the second movement ''Allegro giovale'' features joyful syncopated rhythms.〔Seen and Heard International, Concert Review, Glyn Pursglove, December 2011. ()〕 Its melodic lines suit the capabilities of the instrument remarkably well.〔 The ''Largo cantabile'' has been described as haunting, lyrical and colourful〔〔(Arkivmusic.com, Fanfare Review, Ronald E. Grames )〕 with some fine contributions of the solo violin and the harp.〔 Finally, the lively, sparkling ''Fugato'' belies its relatively austere title and includes some enchanting effects.〔〔 One of the most difficult concertos in the bassoon's repertoire, it has been called a "delight for virtuosos".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bassoon Concerto (Jolivet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
