Berg Post by Nicholas Cohen

Nicholas Cohen, contrabassoon

If the words “contrabassoon” and “solo” pique your interest, then the Berg Kammerkonzert might just be the piece for you. In most pieces contrabassoon is just used as for the purpose of providing a low base line for the woodwinds, however you will find the subtle “moans” of the instrument come through at various points during the piece. So keep your ears open for some low grumbles and some high ones as well and most of all…enjoy the show!
