About This Song
About "Duet-Concertino, TrV. 293 : R. Strauss: Duet-Concertino, TrV. 293: III. Rondo" by Peter Schmidl
The Rondo of Strauss’s Duet-Concertino spins with playful elegance, clarinet and bassoon chasing each other like fireflies in twilight. Schmidl’s tone is lithe and teasing, the music’s good humor shadowed by a wistful undertow—a dance that ends too soon, leaving a bittersweet echo.
