Summary of This Book
Designed for bassoonists wishing to expand their repertoire while consolidating their fundamentals, this collection offers a selection of pieces for bassoon and piano, edited by William Waterhouse. The piano accompaniment provides a true harmonic and rhythmic framework, ideal for working on intonation, phrasing, breathing, articulation, and timing. It is a particularly relevant resource for lessons, exams, auditions, or simply for the pleasure of playing chamber music.
The content highlights short pieces and characterful movements, allowing for variation in styles and intentions: dance, scherzo, lively movements, and more lyrical passages. Included are: Bruit De Chasse (Corrette)
Minuet From Quartet For Bassoon And Strings Op.1 No.6 (Ritter)
Minuetto Giocoso [Haydn, Franz Joseph]
Scherzo - Kolomyjka (Vojacek)
Three Easy Pieces No.1 (Milde)
Three Easy Pieces No.2 (Milde)
Three Easy Pieces No.3 (Milde)
Trois Sonates [Diabelli, Anton]
Vivace And Largo Poco Andante (Sonata In E Minor Op.3 No.3) [Blavet, Michel]
Thanks to this diversity, the student can build a progressive and motivating path: working on breath flexibility in cantabile lines, gaining precision in fast passages, and developing contrasts of character. The bassoon-piano duo also supports stage preparation (entries, cues, phrase endings), a key point for gaining confidence during performances.
