ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: Humoresque
Arranged for bassoon quartet by Michael A. Grant
 
The term ‘Humoresque’ is used to describe pieces that have a humorous character and mood. Dvořák wrote a series of eight Humoresques for solo piano in 1894. The seventh of these soon proved the most popular, and was rearranged for many different ensembles.
 
This arrangement can be performed as a bassoon quartet or (by eliminating the optional 4th part) as a trio.
