@cigarjohn42 It is if you don't have a teacher. I played flute first, and the director gave me a bassoon to learn over the summer. It's taking me twice as long to learn it properly as it did just playing around with it. Technique really is key, just like with everything else. Since you're used to playing in the key of C, you do have a bit of an advantage with reading, but it's just going to be a lot different with all the fingerings as compared to just pressing a repeating combination of valves.
Tocas con el alma el fagot es bellisima tu interpretacion . Gracias a ti me enamore de este instrumento . Mi hija que tiene 12 se paso de violon a fagot y cuando encontre tus videos nos alegramos muchisimos. No me canso de escuchar tus videos . pero e buscado estas partituras y no las consigo . Gracias por compartir tus videos
Excuse me, I was wondering what is the name of this piece and where can I get it. I'm also a bassoonist and would like to try to play this song. You've done a really great job at playing this.
How do you produce such a beautiful sound on notes that don't project well? Like Eb on the staff for example....Mine sounds like crap, lol. Anyways, you are an amazing bassoonist!
THAT WAS FREAKING GORGEOUS! i play the bassoon and granted for playing it for about 3 months i think i'm doing pretty well. but DAMN i'm jealous! you are so awesome!
im playing flute and my music teachers is asking me if i wanna switch between flute and basoon i mean while still playing the flute should i do i cause i gotta no by tomorrow and im still choosing
Really amazing 5 stars no doubt!! I'm a bassoon player and in middle school n have been playing for about a month n my teacher already is gonna have me try out for allstate wish me luck!! :)
@SIMul8rReviews He's actually playing this piece, I've seen this video a while ago and it seems it something happened to it. I noticed it too but he really is playing this.
I am also a bassoonist; I am a freshman in college, and this is my fourth year playing. Anyway, I love that tone! I wish I could master such a rich quality! Of course, it also depends on which brand you have... I'm guessing that this is either a Fox or Renard?
Hey, I play bassoon, as well - for my fourth year now, and I'm loving it! But I'm no where near this level yet. Love that tone! I wish I could master something even remotely close to it! Of course, then again, it also depends on brand of bassoon... I'm guessing this was either a Fox or a Renard?
Very nice played. I love from 0:32 to 0:38. Good accuracy!
I like your vibratto and your prashing.
The only issue I see is that you are lifting your fingers too much. It is very noticeable specially in the part I just remarked above. The notes sound good, but don't let us know that is a difficult part.
Hola! Me encanta como tocas! Buen sonido, ritmo, interpretación etc... Toco yo mismo el saxo baritono y siempre estoy en busca de piezas para instrumento solo. Ya me buscaré las piezas de Braun... Gracias!
I have just picked up the bassoon after playing the flute(4 years), alto sax(3years), and piano(10 years). I have been finding the change a bit difficult, but this gives me courage and determination to be as marvelous as you.
oh my gosh!! This is amazing, I could only ever dream of being this good!! I'm just halfway through on my 2nd year of bassoon, do you have any tips for me???
I absolutely adore baroque music, and it's quite something to hear it on the bassoon. I'm a bassoonist as well and glad I stumbled upon these. I think I'll order them.
oh man this guy is really good thank you man i wanted to see what bassoon could do b4 i started it from bass clarinet-bassoon lol really beautiful sounding solo instrument and just the way he played it wow im guessing that would be around a level 5 piece of music
and why does everyone keep posting comments about what they can play. lol. nobody cares what you can play, your suppose to leave comments about the video.
i just started to play the bassoon this year in my high school band as a freshman, and at first i thought it was the most wierdest instrument i had ever seen, and i thought i was never going to move my thumbs fast enough, and that i wouldnt get it. but now, i love it, and it is in my top 5 favorite instruments that i can play! it is so awesome!
i played the bassoon for several years and won several awards. it is a beautiful instrument. i havent played it in a few years but plan on picking it up again soon!!!
so lucky my instructor doesnt want me to touch the basson till i have an a+ and then take some sorta test and even then he probably wont let me play it im in 9th grade by the way
Love it!! Great playing and great solo! I used to play but don't have an instrument anymore.. My favorite solo I ever played was Ungariche Fantasie by Weber, but whenever I save some money for a bassoon I would love to learn this one. Again, great job,
I have no idea what you are saying in your video description box... and thats what I love about music. I don't have to learn a new language to know that that was a wonderful solo. Bravo!
