| | Shortly thereafter, the director, having decided to found a symphony orchestra and lacking a bassoonist suggested that Mesnard drop violin and take up the bassoon. | | | Concerts Rouge was really a left bank cafe, one of the first to include in its program serious classical music. | | | His next position was with Orchestra Lamoureux to replace the absent second bassoonist on the orchestra's trip to London in May of 1899. |

| | Entirely unaltered from Rachmaninov's original, this wonderful melody illustrates perfectly the vocal qualities of the bassoon's sound. | | | A real bassoonist's warhorse ever since the legendary Archie Camden recorded it on a 78rpm disc in the 1920s! | | | One of the great figures in British light music, Gilbert Vinter was also a fine bassoonist, and these wonderfully characterful, picture-painting pieces display his obvious affection for the instrument. |

| Â | Laurence Perkins - bassoonist |
| | Everything - even the most technical aspects of playing - was approached from an entirely musical angle, and it was exactly what his green young student needed! | | | My enthusiasm for the bassoon did not stop at orchestral playing, and in 1978 I decided to make my own solo record - literally! | | | This broadcast led to my appointment a year later as Principal Bassoonist in Manchester Camerata, and it was with this fine group of players that I learned the joys of playing in a chamber orchestra and the fantastic repertoire for smaller orchestral forces. |

| | From this step he was saved by the early discovery of his musical genius through Mittag, the Viennese bassoonist. | | | Devoting himself in good earnest to music, of which he had acquired some knowledge from Mittag, he studied theory under Sechter and pianoforte technic under Hummel. | | | While yet a boy, at the Polytechnic Institute of the Austrian capital, Thalberg formed a friendship with the young Duc de Reichstadt (popularly known as L'Aiglon), who so fired his imagination with the vision of military glory that he was upon the point of entering that career. |

| Â | JNL12: Adolph Weiss: composer/bassoonist |
| | Pierre Monteux proved to be a very good friend, not only by performing my Theme and Variations with the symphony, but by demanding that I be retained as bassoonist when the Union required that the former bassoonist, who had been on leave on a job elsewhere, should return to his former post. | | | The report concludes with a list of his compositions up to 1957. | | | The enigma continues even now in the years following his death, for despite his years of music study with Arnold Schoenberg and his prolific compositional output, his works are little known beyond his circle of colleagues and friends and rarely if ever performed. |

| | Fortunately, he did not lack for an orchestra with which to try out new compositions—the Schuberts had long maintained a string quartet en famille, which could be augmented from time to time by the collaboration of friends playing other instruments. | | | In the autumn of 1814, the conductor, bassoonist and violinist Otto Hatwig took over direction of this ad hoc ensemble and moved the performances into his own home. |

| | Gebauer was one of five talented brothers; he was a bassoonist himself (and wrote 13 concertos for his instrument). | | | Whereas Reicha's many quintets can seem like symphonies in transcription, Gebauer's three quintets (from the 1820s) are in concertante style with plenty of opportunites for virtuoso display and unexpected tonal colors and instrumental combinations. |
