The Music of William Horne

Sonata for Bassoon and Piano (2014)

This four-movement sonata swings between dark, lyrical moods (movements I and III) and energetic displays of virtuosity (movements II and IV).  “[Horne’s Bassoon Sonata] is another terrific piece, one that is involving from first to last.” (Colin Clarke in Fanfare) You can hear a fine performance of this work by bassoonist Scott Bartlett and pianist Jeannette Fang nearby.
