Partita in B-flat for Unaccompanied Bassoon Is Online

Robert Rønnes has recorded my partita, and both he and I have uploaded to our respective Youtube channels:



Robert’s performance is, of course, quite romantic in nature, perhaps more than I had in mind for a baroque composition.  On the other hand, he offers some wonderful nuances on the repeats and plays most expressively. 


I should append that the work has also been arranged (with minor modifications, including a transposition to D Major) for unaccompanied bass.  This alternative has not yet been recorded.
