Repertoire Classics for Bassoon

Description

Bassoon — In putting together a collection of this type, the main goal was to create a collectionof solo literature that is musically satisfying at every stage of technical and musicaldevelopment. In choosing the selections for this book, pieces were considered on theirmelodic interest, stylistic diversity and their use as a teaching tool. The intention wasalso to include compositions from great masters and to add significantly to the repertoirefor solo bassoon and piano.The solos have been carefully edited to place them in the best keys for the instrumentand stylistic markings have been added which will make the solos more idiomatic for thebassoon, which will aid in the successful performance of these works. A secondary goalof this collection is to provide solos in a variety of difficulty levels so that the book willserve the student of the bassoon for many years of study. It is hoped that this collectionwill stimulate the musical grow of the student and help in their overall development formany, many years to come.
