Abstract

This recital was performed by Laurie Hoeppner on March 9, 1990 in partial fulfillment of the Master of Music in performance (bassoon) degree. The pieces were representative of various style periods, including Baroque, Classic, and Twentieth Century. Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) was an Italian composer of the baroque era. He learned to play . the violin under his father's instruction, but later turned his attention to vocal and contrapuntal studies. Following his father's wishes, Marcello also pursued a legal career during his lifetime. Marcello's music includes a variety of genres; the Sonata in G Major is typical of his style. The sonata consists of four short movements. The opening lyrical An.d..an1a is in binary form. The second movement, Allegro, is also a two-part form. The third movement, Grave, allows the performer an opportunity to improvise, while the final Allegro is an AAB gigue in 3/8 time. This work was originally composed for cello; and was edited for bassoon by Leonard Sharrow in the 1950's.
