Rosalie Baker Music 120 Online #2745 November 30, 2014 On November 20, 2014, I had an opportunity to watch a concert entitled â€Å"Autumn Winds† at Colburn School in Downtown Los Angeles. It was part of a monthly concert series â€Å"Rush Hour Concerts at Colburn† hosted by Gibson Dunn.

The fourth wa s selections from Divertissement for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon (1927) composed by Erwin Schulhoff, three movements were played. The Charleston: Allegro began with a brigh tone, upbeat rhythm, producing dance to the beat of the music. The second movement, Romancero: Andantino sounded playful, with the individual instruments playing consecutively in the introduction playing the same note.
