Abstract Details

2016, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Bassoon.
The development of the American bassoon school was the result of three, not two influences, as has been previously purported. These influences were American conductors’ aesthetic ideas; European musicians from different musical schools emigrating to the United States and playing in its orchestras, and teaching in the most important music schools in the country; and the assimilation of students who would subsequently become the first generation of American-trained bassoonists. The methodology for this study includes primary and secondary sources, the comparison and contrast of sound spectrum and sound wave analysis of recordings made by the conductors and players from this time period, and the examination of scores that some of these bassoonists edited. The elements compared in this study are the preferences for a type of instrument and its tone color, a controlled vibrato, and the use of detailed phrasing, which will be studied through articulations and dynamics. This comparison shows connections among the different elements and influences on the American bassoon school. This study aims to present an historical and stylistic overview of the American bassoon school and to argue for three influences.
