Klaus Thunemann: Prokofiev - Peter and the Wolf op 67 (bassoon part): Grandfather
PROKOFIEV, Sergey
Petya i volk (Peter and the Wolf), tale for children, narrator and orchestra op. 67 (bassoon part)
Grandfather
Klaus Thunemann, professor
Lucía Molina Pardo, student
The style for this orchestral excerpt should be more elegant and serious, because it represents an old man, the grandfather. It must not be so jazzy and rhythm must be precise and energic, with “pesante” character.
Language: English
To pass an audition successfully, Klaus Thunemann advises the student to perform it with much seriousness referred to the expression, and to study also the rhythm and tuning with much more precision.
Finally, as an example about the rhythm required in a certain moment, the professor plays a fragment from the Ravel’s Bolero.
