Summary of This Book
This volume titled "Excerpts from the Concert & Operatic Repertoire. Bassoon & Double Bassoon." gathers key passages from the symphonic and operatic repertoire as encountered in the orchestra. It includes emblematic excerpts from Beethoven (Symphonies Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, Coriolan, Leonore No. 3, Fidelio, Violin Concerto), Brahms (Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, and 3, "Haydn" Variations, Violin Concerto), as well as major pages from Berlioz (Symphonie fantastique), Bizet (Carmen), Tchaikovsky (Symphonies Nos. 4, 5, and 6), and Rimsky-Korsakov (Scheherazade).
The opera repertoire is also well represented, with essentials such as Rossini (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), Verdi (Otello, Don Carlos), Wagner (Lohengrin, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg), Weber (Der Freischütz), Donizetti (L'elisir d'amore), Leoncavallo (Pagliacci), as well as Berg (Wozzeck). In terms of orchestral color, the collection spans very contrasting worlds, from Ravel (Boléro, Rapsodie espagnole, Concerto in G, Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, Ma mère l'Oye) to Richard Strauss (Don Quixote, Till Eulenspiegel, Ein Heldenleben, Salome, Elektra) and Stravinsky (Firebird, Rite of Spring, Pulcinella).
Designed as a daily practice tool, this book allows quick isolation of passages to master and sharpens orchestral reflexes: intonation in the low register, uniformity of attacks, breath control over long phrases, and adaptation to very different writing styles between bassoon and contrabassoon. An essential resource for building an effective routine of orchestral excerpts, with content decidedly oriented towards practical application.
