The Bassoon - Vol.2

Description

The second volume follows the first with lessons 37 to 66. Based on the fundamental knowledge about the bassoon and its way of playing already acquired, the text section now increasingly turns to musical interpretation, detailing, accordingly, aspects of phrasing, tempo, meter, dynamics, agogics, articulation, and ornamentation. The lessons are analogous to those of the first volume, consisting of tone studies, scales, technical studies and three exercises each. Since the volume builds on the previous one, it is aimed at more advanced students. A detailed fingering chart is attached, representing not only the standard and alternative fingerings but also those for trills, tremoli, and flageolet tones.
