Four Bassoon Rags (2004) are enjoyable rags with surprising twists off the well-known rag form. The bassoon is given numerous opportunities to present itself in a humorous and virtuoso manner.
Composer's note
Originally written for piano solo, it is a light-hearted piece, a little bit like a musical “swizzle stick.” It is dedicated to the winemaking Lehmann family from Barossa Valley in Australia.
