Concerto #2, op. 15
for bassoon and piano
by Victor Bruns (1904-1996) - German bassoonist and composer

I. Moderato- Allegro non troppo, ma animato

II. Andante tranquillo

III. Allegro animato e leggiero

Dedicated to Professor Willi Fugmann. Bruns' style, which has its roots in the Russian traditions with which he grew up, is musical through and through; the musical ideas teem with cheerful invention- flowering cantilena motifs dominate, together with a pregnant rhythmic inventiveness that is never obscure. The concerto displays especial charm, the demanding virtuosic solo parts of which- above all, of course, those for bassoon- are always well-conceived for their instrument and never rely on a superficial straining for effect.
Orchestral material is on hire from the publisher.
