Music Minus One Bassoon-This luscious quintet is scored for piano oboe clarinet horn and bassoon. Mozart's magnificent orchestration of the winds with piano creates a warm and glowing texture of sound and each instrument emerges at times for a prominent position. Cast in three movements: Largo/Allegro moderato Larghetto and Rondo/Allegretto. Truly one of the great works in this format and wonderful fun to practice and perform. Includes the complete solo part for the Bassoon printed on high-quality ivory paper and a compact disc containing a complete performance of the quintet with soloist then performed again minus the soloist. Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen piano New Art Wind Quintet:Mel Kaplan oboe Tina DiDario bassoon Murray Panitz flute Aldo Simonelli clarinet

from Tone and Performance Studies-Julius Weissenborn is best remembered today for the teaching material written for use at the Leipzig Conservatorium where he taught bassoon from 1882. His two famous tutor books are still the most popular bassoon etudes in use today well over 120 years after they were written. This anthology represents the first-ever publication that contains all 11 of the extant full recital pieces for bassoon and piano that Weissenborn envisioned as the third part to this tutor in a single volume. Southern Music is proud to present this fine collection of Tone and Performance Studies to players of all levels edited by veteran Principal Bassoonist for the Detroit Symphony Robert Williams.

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.

Five recital pieces for the young performer with piano accompaniment in modern or popular styles demanding a good deal of partnership with the piano.
