"The Wooden Broomstick Scherzo" in G minor, for bassoon and piano - 1998 - duration approx. 3 minutes

The word "scherzo" means a music joke.  This composition displays the whimsical character of the scherzo throughout the music.

The "woody" sound of the bassoon's timbre is captured by the composer, Rosalind Carlson.  Also, the comical element of the bassoon is captivating as the music proceeds throughout the contrasting mood changes in this energetic piece.

The piano adds interest and variety with its infectious rhythms and syncopated chordal figures.

This is a most enjoyable composition with potential for comedy. 

It is an excellent performance piece suitable for competitions and concerts.  The Level of performance is approximately Grade 5 in difficulty.
