A frog he went a-courting, Variations on an Old-English Nursery Song, for bassoon and piano

Arr.:Tarkmann, Andreas N.

Originally composed for piano and violoncello in 1941, the 13 short variations are now available in an arrangement for bassoon and chamber orchestra. This piece by Paul Hindemith is a musical setting of a well-known Old English children's song about the wedding of a frog and a mouse. Each of the cheerful variations in classical style is allocated to a rhyming couplet from the song.
