Solos for the Bassoon Player

Beschrijving

Twelve Solos for the Bassoon player, mainly adapted from Orchestral excerpts in order to give the performer practice at playing these solos in context with proper harmonic backing (Piano accompaniment). Selected and edited by Sol Schoenbach, these pieces range from J.S. Bach's Cello Suite to Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. The bulk of this music falls under the 'intermediate' (Grade 4-6) category, however the Tchaikovsky and Berstain pieces are somewhat harder.
