Daniel Lipori, The Double Reed
" I thoroughly enjoyed reading this work ... I would definitely recommend
adding this piece to your repertoire."
Glyn Pursglove, Musicweb-International.com
" Wolfgang writes very well and sympathetically for the bassoon,
as in Dual Identity for solo bassoon. Making some use of multiphonics,
it is something of a demonstration piece for the soloist, but it is more
than just that, having a genuine musical argument to offer"
Josef Woodard, Santa Barbara News-Press
" On the solo piece, Dual Identity, Ms. Farmer navigated
the score's bouncing, propulsive sense of rhythm, partly articulated through
well-placed spaces between notes. Trace elements of the composer's jazz
and R&B pedigree emerge in the rhythmic design, but they blend in
with a harmonic language grounded in contemporary classical writing."
J. Scott Morrison, Amazon.com
" [Dual Identity] is by turns or simultaneously contrapuntal,
athmospheric, humorous, lyrical, poignant."
