Riffs - CL/BSN/PN or FL/BSN/PN

Riffs
for clarinet (or flute), bassoon, and piano
by Michael J. Burns (b. 1963) - New Zealand composer and bassoonist Riffs is a two-movement work in the style of a Jazz Waltz and a Jazz Shuffle. It was written in response to a request from a bassoon colleague, Will Dietz, for a sort of "jazz primer" for bassoon with written-out solos in the style of improvisation. All of the parts are written out, but improvisation is encouraged. There is an alternate flute part in lieu of clarinet.
