Bassoon Repertoire
The bassoon is a brilliantly versatile instrument. Though we don't have as much literature available as the violin nor are we as well known, there is a lot of interesting, challenging, and rewarding music available to bassoon players. Regretfully a lot of bassoon studios tend to recycle the same 6 pieces over and over. If you want to try something different but don't know what, consult the links below.
New Works – works that have recently come to my attention
Solo Literature – including unaccompanied works, sonatas with piano, concertos with orchestra or with piano reductions, and pieces for other instrument that would work well on the bassoon
Etude Literature – etude books written to improve bassoon technique
Chamber Music Literature – a small collection of chamber works that include the bassoon
