Abstract Details

2012, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Bassoon.
This study focuses on the utilization and execution of extended techniques in the bassoon works of Sofia Gubaidulina: the Duo Sonata for Two Bassoons, the Concerto for Bassoon and Low Strings, and Quasi Hoquetus for viola, bassoon, and piano. There is an historical background presented for the development of extended techniques for woodwind instruments, focusing on the bassoon in particular. Furthermore, the extended techniques used in each of Gubaidulina’s bassoon works are described and performance suggestions are provided for these sonorities. Each extended technique is supplemented by fingering options and ideas about changes to embouchure pressure, air pressure, and embouchure position in order to successfully achieve each effect. The study is designed to assist performers in their negotiation of contemporary techniques that are unfamiliar and make Gubaidulina’s works more accessible to bassoonists.
