Abstract
Sonneborn examines the mystery of conductor Luigi Gatti and his Concerto for Bassoon in F major. She states that one year before the pandemic closed concert halls around the country, the Naples Philharmonic asked her to perform a concerto on their upcoming season. She was given no constraints, except that the instrumentation on that particular concert would be small and mostly strings. She did a bit of listening online and ran across a performance of the Concerto for Bassoon in F major by Gatti which he had never heard before. She enjoyed the piece so much she contacted the performer, only to be told that the parts were unavailable outside of a library in Italy.
