@@sooe7505 Well, first of all, I have to say, that it's just my personal view and opinion, certainly a matter of personal taste or distaste. But I try to explain my comment: The musical language of this piece is basically very similar to that of the Viennese Classical period - with some sideways to the Biedermeier Roamntic of Carl Maria von Weber or likewise. The music of that period mostly is very balanced and full of taste. Haydn and Mozart are masters of that classical balance, of the feeling for nuances and details, even when they're incorporating disturbances into the balance. They always manage to restall the general feeling of balance in the end. This concerto seems to me rather out of balance, its form - for me - doesn't really seem to know where it''s heading to, although there are some very nice and interesting ideas in it. But they don't add up to a convincing whole - always said, that that's just my personal feeling, you certainly may disagree! Another point is the virtuosity of this concerto. I play bassoon myself, and I have to say, it's extremely difficult to play. But - again, to me - the virtuosity seems to be quite over the top and somewhat hollow, empty, without a real neccessity. That adds to my impression of a rather unbalanced, raw piece of music that doesn't really know what it's doing. The composer is from Finland from the late Classical or early Romantic period. I have the feeling, that the composer uses a musical language, that at long last is a foreign language for him, a language, he has acquired and not learned from the scratch. He surely is able to communicate in this language quite good, but one can hear and feel, that it's not his first language, that he speaks with a foreign accent. Perhaps that metaphor is sufficient to explain what I mean, when I say that I find this concerto somewhat weird. I have to appologize for my first comment, which perhaps was too short to be helpful.
💯
does anybody know if there is an arrangement for this piece for a wind ensemble?
Yes there is. By swedish composer Andrea Lindberg-Tarrodi.
Weird composition...
How?
Why?
