Thank you:
The everyone involved for having burdened themselves with a very demanding repertoire, especially those with enough faith in my music to want to help bring it to life. An extra thank you to Bergen's professional bassoon community Per, Jim, Jeff, Odd and Tony for generously sharing experiences with pipes, grips, practice and problem solving.
