Piano reduction | Klavierauszug of Concerto in C major GWV 301 for Bassoon and Piano - with seperate bassoon part
Among his solo concertos, the four works for solo bassoon are particularly significant: he did not assign more soloistic tasks to any other instrument. The Concerto in C major GWV 301 can be characterized as an overtly expressive work. In the opening movement, a stormy Vivace, the solo instrument showcases a particularly interesting playing technique – unlike in the final movement, where the bassoon carries the primary melodic material. In the first movement, Graupner (or Klotsch?) also loves to climb down to the lowest possible note on the instrument, the contra B-flat, and to relish holding it prior to expanding the tonal range to the octave above. A sharp contrast to the sections that frame the concerto is provided by the second movement, Largo e giusto. Set in the relative minor key, it breathes something open and free, if not incoherent into the main musical action, before the third movement rouses the crowd by pointedly and compactly communicating the pure joy of playing.
Piano reduction | Klavierauszug des Konzert C-dur GWV 301 für Fagott und Piano - mit separater Fagottstimme
Unter den Solokonzerten nehmen die vier Werke für solistisches Fagott einen besonderen Stellenwert ein; keinem anderen Instrument hat er mehr konzertierende Aufgaben zugewiesen. Das Konzert C-dur GWV 301 wird von einer extrovertierten Grundhaltung bestimmt. Im Eröffnungssatz, einem stürmischen Vivace, kommt dem Soloinstrument vor allem spieltechnisch interessantes Laufwerk zu – anders als im Schlusssatz, wo das Fagott Träger des musikalisch-melodischen Geschehens ist. Graupner (oder Klotsch?) liebt es im Kopfsatz immer wieder bis zum tiefstmöglichsten Ton, dem Kontra-B, hinabzuklettern und den Ton genüßlich lange auszuhalten, bevor der Tonraum wieder bis zur eingestrichenen Oktave nach oben durchmessen wird. In starkem Kontrast zu den Rahmensätzen steht das Largo e giusto an zweiter Stelle; in die parallele Molltonart gewendet, vermittelt der Satz etwas Offenes, Freies, auch Unzusammenhängendes hinsichtlich des musikalischen Hauptgeschehens, bevor der dritte Satz als echter „Rausschmeißer“ pointiert und kompakt pure Spielfreude verbreitet.
