Queste Variazioni sul duetto “Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen” (Per gli uomini capaci di sentire amore) dal “Il Flauto Magico di Mozart” fanno parte delle “VARIATIONS on famous opera Themes” for solo bassoon di Žilvinas Smalys . Nel duetto di Pamina e Papageno si parla degli uomini che, sentendo il richiamo dell’amore, non mancano di cuore gentile. Mi sembra un buon spunto di riflessione, soprattutto in questi tempi.

Michele Colombo PIECE OF CAKE AND CUP OF TEA for two bassoons

A slice of cake with a cup of tea.
A sweet moment where worries are left to evaporate with the steam of tea.
I wrote "Piece of Cake and Cup of Tea" for two bassoons, in September 2025.
The main element of this short composition is a sequence of eight notes introduced in the first two bars. This ingredient is kneaded, developed, and blended into a piece of “cake.”
As the tea is sipped, the notes of the dessert unfold in a calm tempo.
I invite you to taste these 100 grams of cake, accompanied by a steaming cup of tea.

Werner Heider SEPTEMPBER-WEGE (Ein musikalisches Tagebich) 1.- 7. f...

I welcome autumn with a piece by Werner Heider, a German composer born in 1930.

A musical diary. A few lines to express moods, points of view, experiences.

The bassoon is the instrument Heider uses to write the first seven days of this particular diary of September, followed by the harp, the tuba and finally the accordion. The bassoon part, written in 1989, was performed for the first time at the “Festival des Hörens” on 22 September 1990 by Karsten Nagel, bassoon teacher at the Leopold Mozart Centre at the University of Augsburg.

The seven movements have the following titles:

 1. Schritte          Steps

2. Stimmungen  Moods

3. Standpunkte  Points of view

4. Übermut       Cheekiness

5. Situationen    Situations

6. Erfahrungen Experience

7. Einsichten    Insights

I bid farewell to summer with Danilo Zaffaroni's latest work, A SUMMER FUNK for bassoon and piano. A piece with a driving rhythm that perfectly captures the energy that permeates this eternally youthful season.

Michele Colombo SHANTI

Composed at Mulino OhmShanti, this short piece contains the ‘Shanti’ (peace, tranquillity, inner imperturbability given by the absence of mental disturbances) that the Guru invokes in his prayer of gratitude to the One who is All.

Beyond the boundaries of our reality lies the Immense, where we are dissolving clouds.

Where, if not burdened by storms, our Essence will find tranquillity.
