This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian bassoonist Sergio Penazzi was the first instrumentalist to introduce multiphonics to Bruno Bartolozzi, which lead the latter to publish the revolutionary book New Sounds for Woodwind. Since then, however, bassoonists have fallen behind in the development of their contemporary sound. While researching materials for Contemporary Techniques for the Bassoon: Multiphonics, twenty bassoonists, who range in age, experience, and specialty, were brought together to test over 350 multiphonic fingerings. This resource includes: - a summary of the distinction between monovalent and polyvalent fingerings - notation suggestions - pitch content for each of the 271 reliable multiphonic fingerings - embouchure suggestions - a table of multiphonic fingerings categorized by prominent pitch - a list of selected compositions that include bassoon multiphonics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Oboe Unbound written by Libby Van Cleve and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of experimentation, musicians have begun to utilize a strikingly colorful palette of sounds on woodwind instruments. Flute, clarinet, and saxophone players, in many different musical settings, regularly use sounds that were unheard of in the middle of the twentieth century. Oboists, in comparison, have lagged somewhat behind their more adventurous colleagues. In writing Oboe Unbound: Contemporary Techniques, author Libby Van Cleve opens up the tradition-bound assumptions of the instrument’s capabilities. Not only does she include descriptions of the instrument’s standard technique from range and reeds to the use of vibrato, but she also discusses recent techniques, such as multiphonics, microtones, altered timbres, and extended range, to name a few. Van Cleve bolsters this book with numerous music examples and professionally-tested fingering charts, and concludes with basic information about the use of electronics for amplification, recording, and sound enhancement. The book’s appendixes include a substantial bibliography of music and literature and a discography including jazz, non-western, and art music recordings. The revised edition incorporates new information about resources now available through the internet and marks the launch of a website that includes examples of all the contemporary sounds as well as audio and video recordings of unreleased compositions.
Download or read book Extended Bassoon Techniques written by Arno Colin Steyn and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis addresses the demands of extended techniques imposed by composers on bassoonists in performing their music. Several factors contribute to the difficulties a bassoonist can experience when using performing extended techniques. The lack of an appropriate learning progression focusing on advanced bassoon playing techniques, the ongoing development of these techniques as well as the absence of a consistent approach to bassoon notation exacerbate this situation. A qualitative research approach incorporating practice-led research through the personal involvement of the researcher was used. The research design includes the experiences and experimentations of the researcher. Data was collected under controlled conditions. The researcher utilised a consistent approach to notation as well as fingering charts and audio recordings to report the results of the research. A sound basic understanding of traditional bassoon playing techniques is underscored. A practical teaching approach is taken in the discourse to enable the aspiring bassoonist to master certain techniques, such as circular breathing, tonguing, pitch sliding and the use of multiphonics and microtones. All these technical aspects are illustrated with appropriate examples, exercises and fingering charts to enhance the learning experience. The practice-led research foregrounds most of the pioneer Bruno Bartolozzi℗þs findings. These and performing some of the works for bassoon by avant-garde composers have underscored the absolute requirement of mastering the various extended techniques. The insights gained from the research should provide the aspirant bassoonist with the insight and practical skill to master extended bassoon techniques.

Download or read book Bassoon Reed Making written by Christin Schillinger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Withheld by leading pedagogues in an effort to control competition, the art of reed making in the early 20th century has been shrouded in secrecy, producing a generation of performers without reed making fluency. While tenets of past decades remain in modern pedagogy, Christin Schillinger details the historical pedagogical trends of bassoon reed making to examine the impact different methods have had on the practice of reed making and performance today. Schillinger traces the pedagogy of reed making from the earliest known publication addressing bassoon pedagogy in 1687 through the publication of Julius Weissenborn's Praktische Fagott-Schule and concludes with an in-depth look at contemporary methodologies developed by Louis Skinner, Don Christlieb, Norman Herzberg, and Lewis Hugh Cooper. Aimed at practitioners and pedagogues of the bassoon, this book provides a deeper understanding of the history and technique surrounding reed-making craft and instruction.
