As the title suggests, I am starting a duo with a bassoonist and we are looking for repertoire.  I am wondering if people have any suggestions of individual pieces (esp), or good places for him and me to look ? 

I feel like this is a stab in the dark, but, that's what I have been doing anyway  :P, so I thought I would just ask in the event you people have had experience with bassoon music or cello/trombone music that can be played as bassoon and piano.

Thanks in advance,

m1469  :)

All I would be able to reccomend are bassoon solos with piano accompaniant. But I am sure the bassoonist would know of solo pieces with piano accompaniant or however you spell it.

But I can give you some examples of some pretty well known bassoon solos with piano accompaniant.

- Saint Saens Sonata for Bassoon and Piano
- Hindemith Sonata for Bassoon and Piano
- Weissenborn Capricicco for Bassoon and Piano
- Elgar Romance for Bassoon and Piano

I am not sure what you are asking for. Then there are The Mozart, Weber, Gordon Jacob, Concertos with transcribed piano accompaniant.

You might be able to find a simple transcription of In the Hall of the Mountain King for bassoon and piano which may be fun to play and has a  very simple bassoon part that I know of.

Hope that was at least somewhat helpful lol.

Yes, thanks bassoonypiano  :).  Right now I am just looking for any suggestions, so what you recommended is great.  Difficulty is not really an issue.

Best regards,

Well Since you mentioned the word difficulty...

Saint Saens is the probably the most difficult, with the Mozart, Weber, and Jacob Concertos closely behind it
The Hindemith is not as bad but I hear the Piano part may be pretty difficult.
The Elgar and Weissenborn are not that bad.

If you can round  up a clarinetist you should do "Trio Pathetique" by Glinka; it's real chamber music , not boom-chick concerto accompanying. I was going to suggest the Hindemith too, but that would be redundant.  ::) I would try to find a basoon literature site, maybe basoonypiano knows where that might be. :)

wow, you are both being very helpful to me.  Maybe now I can impress him when we meet to discuss further in detail (he's pretty cute, he he)  ;).  A clarinetist might be a great idea... a trio could be a lot of fun  ;D

Thanks,

I'm a composer and I can always write something new if you're interested as soon as I finish my two current projects.
