The Interpretation of Opera Excerpts for Bassoon: A Pedagogical Analysis of Selected Excerpts

Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Although opera presents a sizeable portion of classical music, many bassoonists are oblivious of opera literature. Besides the Marriage of Figaro many bassoonists are blithely unaware of the excerpts on opera bassoon audition lists. This document attempts to introduce and analyze the most popular opera excerpts for principal and second bassoon. Thirty-four opera companies were contacted in an effort to obtain the most accurate listing of opera bassoon excerpts. This document intends to enlighten the reader on a pedagogical approach to opera bassoon excerpts through the history of the composition, a synopsis of the opera, and a pedagogical approach to each excerpt.
