Scherzo Op. 13e. Sheet Music. Bassoon, Chamber Group. BSN. CHAM. Bertold Hummel.

Original

Although Bertold Hummel composed this Scherzo for Bassoon and chamber Orchestra more than fifty years ago, the piece still captivates every listener with its youthful, carefree liveliness. Virtuoso and witty, it does justice to its title in every respect. It was created in 1957 upon commission of the Kleines Unterhaltungsorchester Südwestfunk Baden-Baden. The solo part of the four-minute concert piece with the tempo indication 'allegro molto' was tailor-made by Hummel for the orchestra's principal bassoonist Helmut Böker.
