I'm a young professional bassoonist and I think you give some terrific advice and really useful tips on how to prepare some of the trickiest and most exposed passages in the repertoire. I often refer back to your posts if I'm getting a bit stuck on something or need some inspiration!

I've never played Beethoven 9, but it was a thrill to sing in the chorus in the mid-90s. That seems like so long ago... Nowadays, I feel overwhelmed at the thought of the complex process of putting the bassoon together, but my therapist really wants me to start getting back into it. Your post reminds me that the work never ends!! <br /><br />love from NJ,<br />Tina<br />(my email address is the same!)Tina B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115433326707838301.post-78944005759482494482009-10-10T15:17:02.497-07:002009-10-10T15:17:02.497-07:00Thank you, David.

The more I think about it, it's hard to describe the complex processes we go through to prepare these parts, over a week or a lifetime.<br /><br />The bassoon obligato in the last movement went beautifully tonight, just like someone singing a lovely counter melody to herself while matching perfectly the main melody.DTclarinethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482572917950645940noreply@blogger.com
