Well done to mszczuj, you were very quick indeed.

Your bassoon piece really does sound like Jean Francaix?

Nice shot. But alas...

Well. Let's consider two main factors - nationality of composer and era which he/she belongs to.

In one of these aspects you were closer than both answers of Amfortas - but in other aspect he was twice right.

Gounod perhaps? Maybe too late?

You are not so close as Hattoff was in one aspect, but in other aspect you are as wrong as he was.

How about Rosetti?

Not him.

In one of the aspects it is the worst of all answers so far. In other aspect it is difficult to estimate but I think for some reasons we can suspect your answer goes in right directory.

There is one thing common about both of them - the mystery one and Rosetti. They changed their surnames, but not totally.

I must say that's a good clue, and it's driving me crazy to think of who it could be.  :o
"But not totally" could mean he dropped a syllable, or added one... :-X

Did Mendelssohn[-Bartholdy] write anything for bassoon? Surely it's not him, though!

Well, it's time for first really serious clue, I suppose.

Some of the most important works of mystery composer were written to the words of the famous italian writer Carlo Goldoni.

Score? It is simple measure of fun.

Year of first known compositions of composer mentioned in answer minus year of composition from clip.

or

Year of composition from clip minus year of death of composer mentioned in answer.

For Galuppi it is 148.

Wolf-Ferrari, op,. 16?

Born in 1876, son of german painter August Wolf and Italian Emilia Ferrari, he had learn composition in Germany and wrote italian operas which were succeses mainly in Germany. So he was German as Weber (and probably Roesler-Rosetti) and he was Italian as Rossini and Galuppi. He was contemporary of Gounod and Francaix, but his music is contemporary only to music of the later. Since 1895 he used to add  the maiden-name of his mother to his surname. Five of his operas are after Goldoni, among them "I quatro rusteghi".

Suite-Concertino Op.16 for basson and orchestra (strings and 2 horns - in 1933, isn't this nice?) is composed of three moody Andantes and one short (2 minutes) Presto. This Presto is the second part of work and it is named Strimpellata (piece of strumming). The clip has been made from last seconds of it. The performers are Valery Popov and Ensemble of soloists lead by Gennady Rozhdestvensky. (There is Jolivet's  Bassoon concerto on the ather side of LP)

Now, it's your turn.

Good choice. I actually own this on the recent Chandos recording. I will have to go back and give the disc another listen, as clearly I have not listened to it enough, since I didn't recognize the piece!

I've a couple WMA clips but I've not been able to convert or edit them.  Anyone with some some time to help, or step in?
