Detailed Description

Horn, bassoon

SKU: P2.70007

Composed by Thomas Dempster. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.70007).

In the widely-known and respected game of chess, theZugzwang is a forced move that a defending player has to move in order to, you know, not die. It's a move a player has to make in order to avoid checkmate. This is one of the endgame scenarios in chess, with the player forcing the Zugzwang basically holding the upper hand... It's a chase to the end. I envisioned the horn and bassoon as two figures engaged in a quick back and forth with a chase to the finish, each instrument showing off its own arsenal while occasionally borrowing pawns or bishops from the other side of the board to make a point.
