威爾森‧歐茲伯恩(Willson Osborne, 1906-1979)為美國當代作曲家，1952年為了紐約市廣播電台(WNYC)錄音創作《低音管練習曲》(Study for Bassoon)，四年過後，他將標題改為狂想曲(Rhapsody)，並於1958年同時出版低音管與單簧管的版本。作曲家使用弗里吉安調式(Phrygian mode)貫穿全曲，加上朗誦般的東方風格華彩樂段，是一首充滿民族色彩的獨奏曲。
本篇詮釋報告主要針對此作品在單簧管上進行研究分析與演奏詮釋，筆者將分三個章節來探討，第一章彙整作曲家的生平，同時討論其作曲風格，並介紹樂曲背景；第二章以此作品特色進行樂曲分析；第三章為筆者對樂曲的詮釋。筆者期待對於樂曲進行的一番研究能夠在演奏上有所助益。
