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
