The first is not the only piece to require careful calculation, with the second piece recalling Mozart's famous coloratura aria from The abduction from the Seraglio. In the third piece, composed for this year's ARD music competition, the bassoonist literally has to pass an exam in almost unrealisable playing feats - only suitable for the brave-hearted!
