In its character, Mini- -Quintetto is a neo- classical composition comprised of seven parts. After 22 years since the first staging of the work, in 2005, Józef Świder de- cided to supplement the quintet with additional parts: Imitazione and Polonaise. The work was kept in the drawer another 11 years in order to be finally recorded and staged (7th December 2016, The Józef Świder Festival in Cieszyn) as well as released.

— ŚWIDER JÓZEF Sonata for Bassoon and Piano ed. Marek Barański pwm 12 020

The first part of Sonata is written in a form of scherzando of a light and witty character, where the composer fully uses the facture and bassoon’s so- und potential. The second part, full of meditation and cantilena, bears a particular expression of lower registers of the instrument. Part three is a traditional minuet in moderato tempo, with stylised folk elements in the middle fragment. The last part resumes the scherzo form, capped by a cadenza, in which – attempting to imitate the language of Józef Świder’s compositions that include numerous elements of a synthetic finale – most of the music concepts outlined in the entire Sonata were included.
