Description:
Score , Partitur of Concerto in C major GWV 301 for Bassoon, Strings and Basso continuo
Among his solo concertos, the four works for solo bassoon are particularly significant: he did not assign more soloistic tasks to any other instrument.
The Concerto in C major GWV 301 can be characterized as an overtly expressive work. In the opening movement, a stormy Vivace, the solo instrument showcases a particularly interesting playing technique – unlike in the final movement, where the bassoon carries the primary melodic material. In the first movement, Graupner (or Klotsch?) also loves to climb down to the lowest possible note on the instrument, the contra B-flat, and to relish holding it prior to expanding the tonal range to the octave above. A sharp contrast to the sections that frame the concerto is provided by the second movement, Largo e giusto. Set in the relative minor key, it breathes something open and free, if not incoherent into the main musical action, before the third movement rouses the crowd by pointedly and compactly communicating the pure joy of playing.
