“Müntzers stern / Solo II”

“Münzers stern” (2015) for bassoon solo. Dafne Vicente-Sandoval: bassoon.Between 2014 and 2016 Jakob Ullmann composed the orchestral work steine, feuer, sterne (stones, fire, stars). This work is based on a largely modular structure, with the result that individual sections can also be played outside of a complete performance, solo or in predetermined combinations. One section among these is the section for a solo bassoon, which may be performed independently under the title Müntzers stern. “solo II für Fagott” (1992 / 2010 / 2015). Dafne Vicente-Sandoval: bassoon.solo II is part of a group of works with the title Buch der Stille 1 (Book of Silence 1) trägt. This is a series of solo pieces for flute / oboe da cacchia (solo I), trombone / bassoon (solo II), organ (solo III), low string instrument (solo IV), and piano (solo V ), all of which were developed from the same compositional idea; the series is a generalisation of disappearing musics, itself a composition for three winds, two strings and two pianos written between 1989 and 1991. The individual solo compositions can be performed separately, as well as in all combinations simultaneously.
