@tyyfly2 Honestly, its a very simple tune. I can tell you haven't played "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg" Getting it this good doesn't take too much practice. If you can't get it this good in a week, you might want to reconsider your practicing or playing ability.

No need to pity me. Your inability to debate with any sort of netiquette is what one should pity. Name calling and making baseless accusations with regard to my abilities shows your immaturity - I merely gave you a little taste of your own medicine.
You opened yourself up to attack the moment you started acting like an authority, and when I confronted you, you got extremely defensive. Not the sort of behavior one would expect from someone with 3 College degrees.
It's not impossible to accomplish, but yes he definitely was not a beginning musician. His vibrato sounds a bit too polished so he must have played either the flute or the oboe beforehand.
it is very likely that he played saxophone or clarinet as well. In fact the fingerings of the lower register of the clarinet and the bassoon are remarkably similar. His vibrato seems more like someone who has never used any air intensity vibrato. I would say it sounds "forced" because he is more than likely used to doing vibrato a completely different way (I.E. jaw vibrato like clarinet or saxophone). Regardless, its unlikely he played flute considering the strength of the embouchure.
You really must be joking about the fingerings... the only fingerings in common are where there are open holes G1 through F2 - and G2 through D3 on the Bassoon. The lower register if you will (the bassoon doesnt actually have registers) is comprised of a combination of thumb keys (at least 8 different ones) and pinky keys. The last Clarinet/Sax I played only had ONE thumb register/octave key. Hmmm how many degrees did you say you have? Time to take a refresher course...
F on bassoon = thumb. F on clarinet = thumb. E on clarinet = thumb and first finger. E on bassoon = thumb and first finger. D on clarinet = thumb and first two fingers. D on bassoon = thumb and first two fingers. C, B, A, G, F are ALL the same. Are you really that stupid? Time for you to learn how to play clarinet because the low octave of clarinet is identical to the primary octave of the bassoon (above the pancake key... or do you even know what that is? [low E key idiot]).
"In fact the fingerings of the lower register of the clarinet and the bassoon are remarkably similar"
The lower register is from Bb1 to Eb2. As I stated previously the only notes in common are from G1 to F2 (seven notes) excluding any accidentals. This is hardly the "low register". What you really meant to say is that there are some notes in common within the mid to lower register.
Again, your incorrect blanket statements make you look like the stupid one - not me.
you are insane... the whisper key F is the top of the low register. So everything under that is in the lower register. Starting with Half-hole G and up you are in the upper half of the bassoon, AKA the upper register. no matter how you cut it the bassoon and clarinet are remarkably similar when it comes to basic fingerings. You look awfully silly here Mr. 20 years of professional performing experience despite having no name or ensemble to perform with. Seriously, move along pops.
7 out of 19 notes is hardly a remarkable similarity. No Bassoonist I have ever known that switched from the Clarinet ever cited those few notes as anything but a minor coincidence. But at least you finally admitted that the notes and fingerings mentioned are very basic indeed.
Its true that you dont know who I am which leaves me at an advantage. I on the other hand have heard you play, and I now clearly understand why you are a doubler. Ahhhh mediocrity at it's finest...
You seem to know nothing and it is rather amusing that you would poke fun at my playing. Have you even been to my website to hear my posted clips there or have you just looked at my youtube clips? I notice you don't seem to have any confidence in your own playing as you have posted nothing. Feel free to call my playing mediocrity when I am 25 years younger than you are yet play 5 instruments with greater artistry than you play a single one. I pity you, truly.
cool. && yes you really can learn bassoon this well in a week. especially if you played another instrument similar to this one which will be like a sax or clarinet..
not if he plays other instruments...if he is a saxophonist etc he already has the muscles to work the bassoon embouchure. all it takes is time to learn the fingerings...anyone can learn them on bassoon with practice.
Actually the Bassoon embouchure is nothing like either the Sax or the Clarinet. Bassoon and Oboe use both lips where as single reeds instruments use only the bottom lip with the teeth resting on top of the mouthpiece.
actually you are extremely wrong. Many clarinet players use a double lip embouchure. Aside from that, if you play one woodwind instrument you already have the proper embouchure muscles in good shape, they just need to relearn how to apply them to the new embouchure. Never once did I say they were the SAME embouchure, only that the same muscles work them. Perhaps you should do some research before you post something? Do you even have a music degree? I have 3.
I've been a professional musician for over 20 years, and no clarinet teacher I knew ever taught a double lip embouchure. There may be some that play that way but it is improper - do some research of your own... If you knew anything at all about a proper Bassoon embouchure you would know the difference. Also his vibrato doesnt sound the least bit forced - that is a matter of opinion, but he is definitely not using a jaw vibrato. And he does play the flute btw...
wow you fail extremely. Jon Bruce yeh of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra uses a double lip embouchure on clarinet as do many other professional clarinet players. Its also a very important teaching technique to learn to control registers, legato playing, and air leaks. You know nothing of clarinet and it shows. Also, if you could read english, which clearly you cannot, you would see that I wrote that the embouchure is different but the muscles used are the same! You are a complete hack!
And if you can read you would understand that I said there are some that do... duhh. The original comment you made referred to a generalization in embouchures and that they were pretty much the same - muscle-wise or not. That was an incorrect statement and you know it. You can try and justify what you meant all you want, but that's exactly all it would be. Getting defensive and calling names is rather immature... end of discussion - moving on.
This was one of my favorite parts of the overture :P It gets kind of taxing at the end if you try not to breathe after every 2 bars (or at least I found). Nice tone for sure :)
well it depends if he was a brass player going to bassoon, would be rather difficult. but if he was a oboe or flute player. it shouldn't of been that hard. or a piano player would of been difficult. just my reply.
did you rub vaseline on the camera lense?

Actually, before bassoon, I had played recorder, viola and flute. This was the first time for me to play an instrument which needs a reed.
