Download or read book The Bassoon written by James B. Kopp and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This welcome volume encompasses the entire history of the bassoon, from its origins five centuries ago to its place in twenty-first-century music. James Kopp draws on new archival research and many years' experience playing the instrument to provide an up-to-date and lively portrait of today's bassoon and its intriguing predecessors. He discusses the bassoon's makers, its players, its repertory, its myths, and its audiences, all in unprecedented detail. The bassoon was invented in Italy in response to the need for a bass-register double-reed woodwind suitable for processionals and marching. Composers were quick to exploit its agility and unique timbre. Later, during the reign of Louis XIV, the instrument underwent a major redesign, giving voice to its tenor register. In the early 1800s new scientific precepts propelled a wave of invention and design modifications. In the twentieth century, the multiplicity of competing bassoon designs narrowed to a German (or Heckel) type and a French type, the latter now nearly extinct. The author examines the acoustical consequences of these various redesigns. He also offers new coverage of the bassoon's social history, including its roles in the military and church and its global use during the European Colonial period. Separate historical chapters devoted to contrabassoons and smaller bassoons complete the volume [Publisher description].

Through its Quick Start and In Depth features, readers can quickly decide how deeply they want to delve into the instrument at hand.

Teachers, students, teachers in training, music instructors, instrument technicians, and musicians can quickly locate any specific detail related to any band or orchestral instrument.

Download or read book The Development of Woodwind Fingering Systems in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries written by Jerry L. Voorhees and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to describe, illustrate and classify as many as possible of the fingering systems found on woodwind instruments dating from approximately 1831 to the present, and to analyze and compare these mechanisms with regard to their similarities and differences, strengths and weaknesses. Much has been written over the past half-century about the development of the individual woodwind types, but to my knowledge this is the first serious attempt to compare and classify woodwind fingering systems on the basis of their structure and operation rather than their association with a particular instrument, period, builder, or performer. It is also the first attempt to provide a more-or-less complete set of diagrammatic illustrations of existing woodwind mechanisms. The procedure which I have followed, beyond acquiring a basic grasp of woodwind history, is to study the instruments themselves in museums and private collections whenever possible. I also had recourse to illustrations, books, and pamphlets, as well as conversations with contemporary experts and builders. - Introduction.
