About "Sonate pour basson et piano, Op. 168: IV. Allegro moderato" by Annie D'Arco
The finale snaps shut with courtly wit, the bassoon darting through Saint-Saëns' sprightly counterpoint. D'Arco's touch is crisp and dry as old paper, but beneath the elegance runs a restless current—a polite argument between woodwind and keys that ends in a wry, unresolved shrug.
