THE DABBLING DUCK was commissioned by Roger Wiesmeyer, English hornist with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. It was written in April of 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. A rhapsody or whimsical piece was initially discussed, but a week later, what burst out was a piece of rollicking fun. When Markovich approached Wiesmeyer with the change, his response was: "The world could use that right about now!" The world premiere was April 13, 2021 on the Arkansas Symphony (ASO) River Rhapsodies Series V.
Suitable for high school, college, regional, or professional chamber duo

"The end made me laugh out loud!" Susan Leon, ASO principal bassoon
"That was a fun piece...it sounded like a lot of fun to play." Leanna Renfro, ASO principal oboe
