In this masterclass, Professor Thunemann corrects issues related to breathing, dynamics and phrasing and he also comments that the first notes of the piece should be more staccato.
Thunemann plays during the class in many occasions to show the best fingerings to the student and the best way to solve certain passages and the most complicated sound effects. Moreover, he works on sound balance between the two bassoon parts. Referring to tempo, Professor Thunemann explains the passages with stricter tempo in contrast with freer passages and corrects the mouth position.
In this contemporary music the performer must constantly control with their ear how to play, because it is not all written as in a book.
