You used to have it in 480p..... what happened?? it just doesn't bring out the sound as before

@cmcas I don't know. I haven't done anything with it.

this is a great piece. With no intention to insult the virtuosity of the musician, i would like to comment that the bassoon sounds somehow different; the sound is abit more harsh, almost like a trombone. or is it just me? :) i had an armstrong bassoon and it sounds just like that.

[HARMONICO101]

It's a baroque bassoon. They have a much more raw and earthy sound than the modern (19th century) version. It's also apparently way harder to play.

I'm working on the first movement for a solo I'm doing soon. Very excited about it! :)

@charlesdarwin55 "If it's not Baroque, don't fix it!" haha, Cogsworth would say the same thing!!!

@XHeartbrokenEmoGalX that's really fascinating about the e minor...it is a bitch on modern bassoon.

This bassoon actually sounds like an instrument and not a duck.

@HARMONICO101 The baroque bassoon sounds so much better than the modern bassoon :(

@slothfat I love Vivaldi too but I think some people would strongly disagree with you regarding Bach or Mozart to say the least
