[@brendanhutchins]

Amazing rendition of this piece! 5 years ago I played this piece for Bocal Majority camp on the high bassoon part because I was the only one who could read in tenor clef haha. Very beautiful tone, y'all sounded outstanding!

Удивительная музыка восхищает. Много вариантов, но этот шедевр.

[@AshBarkPerson]

I think this is my favourite bassoon piece, I want more.

[@pearspeedruns]

I love this piece too-check it out for sax quartet and a capella voice! And, of course, the original video of Piazzolla playing it

[@pearspeedruns]

Russ Houghton yes, I've listened to both of those as well! This piece really does lend itself to a wide range of ensembles.

Loved this!

Love it! I love music.

The composer Piazzolla's personal instrument was a bandoneon which is a type of concertina. Libertango is probably his most often played piece and has been arranged for just about everything. The Canadian Brass has done it along with some of his other pieces - all wonderful. And Doc Severinsen played it as part of the San Miguel 5. It's worth seeking out other pieces by Piazzolla.

This is really good! You play extremely week and I love bassoon ensemble. I wish bassoon ensemble was more common ☺

Well, in terms of bassoon playing weak is a compliment as well, it is very hard to keep proper intonation while blowing softly (the pitch gets sharper due to the prevalence of upper overtones).

[@willmorris8198]

@@Pawel_Malecki Well I don't know if "weakly" is how I would like my playing to be described personally... 😂 Although I do understand the difficulty of playing softly. I just think "soft" and "weak" are different and shouldn't be equated. Sometimes I also find it difficult to play loud (especially on sensitive notes) without cracking. Cheers

Where could I find the sheet music for this?

[@emcrawf]

Any chance this arrangement can be purchased?

[@PigeonScourgeofCrumbs]

Is the sheet music available anywhere?

[@treblemkr247]

Did anyone figure out if this version was a piece they arranged or if it was something available to the public?

[@bassoonguru1080]

We just played the same thing literally but with no contrabassoon. But that's because we only had 4 people. So it's available.

[@sambaron2625]

Bassoon Guru where did you find the sheet music? I’ve been wanting to play this with some other bassoons but I cant find it anywhere.
