Bassoon Resources

A guide to the history of the four main woodwind instruments of the Baroque: the flute, oboe, recorder and bassoon. Carroll (Baroque and classical bassoon, The Royal College of Music) includes a repertoire list for each instrument and guides readers towards a basic technique for playing these instruments. He also gives advice on buying a suitable reproduction instrument from a market where virtually any Baroque instrument can now be obtained as a faithful copy. Although a certain level of musical literacy is assumed, this volume is appropriate for students, amateurs, and professionals.

An annotated survey of published materials for chamber, concertante, and vocal music originally conceived for wind instruments.
