Did Mozart intend this work to be a duo for two bass instruments or – as the simple basso-like manner of the second part suggests – a sonata for bassoon and keyboard instrument? We will probably never know the answer because the autograph has gone missing. Our edition allows different instrumentation- it not only contains scores for the duo version but also one so it can be performed as a solo bassoon sonata following the style of the time with a figured bass realization. And cellists – who are not blessed with many works by Mozart – will appreciate the version of this endearing work for cello and figured bass.?Authoritative Henle Urtext Edition of Mozart's Sonata In B Flat K.292 for Bassoon Cello and Continuo.

Alec Wilder (1907-1980) was at home with American music in the largest sense from Broadway to Hollywood popular or classical. The idiosyncratic mixture of styles in his music make it just as much an Americanoriginal as that of his avant-garde contemporaries. One trait throughout his song style is a gift for melody that makes the songs very appealing to singers. Classical singers will find these 25 songs to be a natural fit forthe recital stage. Poets represented include: Arnold Sundgaard Loonis McGlohon Carl Sandburg Tennessee Williams and William Butler Yeats.
