Welcome to my page!
Being a professional bassoon player and teacher, I am very interested in expanding and enriching its repertoire. There are different ways to do this. As a performer, I am trying to shed some light on forgotten or less-known works for my instrument. I also ask modern composers to write something new from time to time. But the temptation to write something myself was even stronger, so I started to compose music for bassoon.
Since 2008, I collaborate with Accolade Verlag publishing company in Germany and have had over dozen of solo and chamber pieces for bassoon published via them. You can see a full list of my publications here:

Nevertheless, there always are some unpublished (or to be published later but not yet copyrighted) works, so I decided to gather them here and make them available for downloading.
Here you can download various pieces for bassoon of different difficulty, among them works for bassoon solo, cadenzas for bassoon concertos and chamber music. I will keep this page regularly updated. You can also visit my profile on Youtube (more than 300 videos!)
