Fantasia per Fagotto

Torriani's composition published by F. Lucca is probably from 1847. After a brief introduction by the piano, the bassoon imperiously asserts itself in the high register, leading us to the themes of the work with a cadenza. The piece is virtuosic, and in particular the bassoon faces impervious difficulties in the high register and in the articulation of the fast movements, with no lack of glimpses of melancholic and individual lyricism; the whole piece flows with great skill and inventiveness, with melodic energy that is always new and without relenting.
