There are songbirds and birds whose bird calls are less than cantabile. In the garden of Rome's Villa Massimo, the one and the other birds (ucelli) and songbirds (ucelletti) inspired composer Manfred Trojahn to write this adventurous and very charming piece for bassoon solo. This is a valuable addition to the small repertoire for this fantastic instrument. ucelli e ucelletti captivates with its vitality and musical richness. / Basson
