The 1st movement, \u003cem\u003eA Day Out\u003c\/em\u003e, sounds like an \"outdoor\" piece and is easy-going and tuneful, with a number of themes vying for attention, particularly the opening theme and the lyrical second. These musical elements are stirred about in various ways, including a striking syncopated figure. A development section leads via scalic figures to canonic figures and a varied restatement, which includes a heroic version of the second main theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Interlude\u003c\/em\u003e is a soulful piece, with a declamatory piano introduction leading to a big tune on bassoon, in the tenor register, with the clarinet then taking up the melody. A second section keeps the contemplative mood going and includes a passage for clarinet and bassoon alone. A restatement follows, in a loose canon between bassoon and clarinet. A coda gently lets the music wend its way out, with a final reference to the big tune right at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Breezy Day\u003c\/em\u003e is a gently upbeat piece, with 6\/8 and 5\/8 featured, 5\/8 probably being declared the winner. There are extrovert scale passages, syncopated rhythmic passages and the overall effect is light and airy, maybe even a bit breezy.\u003c\/p\u003e  Trio for Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano  Composer: Christopher Norton Publisher: 80 Days Publishing Instrument: Bassoon|Clarinet|Piano Format: Trio","brand":"80 Days Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51900069118237,"sku":"9790708157120","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/trio-for-clarinet-bassoon-and-piano-by-christopher-norton","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
