Tetris Theme A Bassoon Duet

[@benjaminnewlon7865]

I love the "You gotta accelerate" and "gotta go fast"

[@30FSch]

Was there no easier way to kill the 2nd basson?

[@reeds7777]

I was under the impression that this was a bassoonist's preferred method of execution...

Circular breathing ;)

[@theexcaliburone5933]

Not on that 2nd part

[@LocalChirpingInsect12365]

Me and my trombone playing friend played this and you can’t stop us

[@nathanjackman3067]

That second inversion at the end it burns

[@arneperschel]

Arghh my eyes! A-flats in a minor!

[@reeds7777]

lol sorry, this was before I took theory and I did everything by ear.

[@arneperschel]

Good on you for taking theory :)

[@bigbiyah3659]

Only real Russian break 200 BPM.

[@eliasrodriguez6597]

VN Gaming true😂

[@grima5788]

That's the spirit.

[@potater898]

You must accelerate... Gotta go fast... Even faster... Real Russians break 200... That's the spirit!

[@rosiefay7283]

As Schumann put it, So rasch wie möglich... Rascher...

[@aarongrooves]

Oyyyy, really should be G-sharps, not A-flats. But other than that slightly painful annoyance, nice arrangement.

[@reeds7777]

AaronGrooves lol, as I said in another reply, this was before I took theory and was doing everything by ear. But thanks.

[@flacidPillow]

AaronGrooves it's because it's in A minor right? Just making sure I understand

[@aridemes]

Aren’t they the same thing??

[@qwink6346]

Frootloop Junction Yes but with the constant A’s it is easy for a musician to not see the flat symbol but if the note is in a different spot( in this case G# instead of Ab) the musician is more likely to notice.

[@jorgeguimaraes8820]

@@qwink6346 and also, the chord (harmony) being played is a dominant E, which has a G#, not an Ab

[@oceanstewart3740]

One day I will be able to play this!

[@wendyw651]

The tempo notes cracked me up.

[@mrewan6221]

Nice work, transcribing by ear. Others have pointed out the A♭/G♯ thing. The difference is important, so you know where you are in harmonic context. The other notation matter is in the second-last bar (measure). It's pretty rare for a dotted note to have staccato. Make it a staccato quarter, a staccato eighth, a plain eighth, or a plain dooted-eighth. The two dots have a contradictory message! Although they have quite defined meanings, an ordinary dot has the sub-text of "longer", amd a staccato dot has the sub-text of "shorter".

[@VeniVdVici]

I feel for whoever has the soprano side of things. It would make my jaw ache. Don't even think about trying this on a plastic or composite instrument.

[@JohnJApanovitch]

This was awesome, and certainly a great take on one of the most famous videogame themes ever! Great job! :)

[@orangemania531]

The second part is practically impossible. Those octave jumps are really hard

[@pidbul530]

its named ,,Korobeiniki"

[@Twixted23]

When I thought I could play this on trombone because bassoon and trombone read the same music, tempo wise this is basically impossible on a trombone unless you have a fast arm/wrist and you know how to double and triple tongue, which I really don’t have either of those abilities, this sounds amazing tho.

[@idubby7]

Lolz Bassoonist here feels ya I always get trombone and baritone music sheets.

[@Catholic17]

@@idubby7 , I play bassoon and contrabasoon and if you think on bassoon this is crazy. You haven't seen nothing

[@baileybritton6238]

My friend will flip over this and the speed! So cool!

[@ameliarosesheppard9007]

absolutely splendid, good job!

[@burning_lemons4514]

i love the encouragement XD

[@dimandl87]

Yeah! Nice! The theme is a Russian folk song "Korobeyniki"!

[@PeterBrookF1]

Abs and not G#s triggers me to no end

[@allien.777]

Gotta g fast

[@howaboutnoname]

Its like a score for piano. Why not trade the parts - give the bassoons a rest? Both parts are equally difficult so its not expecting too much from a player and it would add variety. Also vary up the texture add some rests, maybe some staccato or something.

[@paulpetrovich6869]

Does anybody have fingering chart that shows up to high A? I couldn’t find one and I am playing this for my solo ensemble.

[@Royyy707]

❤

[@Ryan-oh6co]

Maybe take bassoon 1 to higher E and bassoon 2 to A. Also, double check barring of quarter notes so the beat is clearly displayed. Ie, eighth rest with a written quarter note should be written as an eighth rest with tied eighths notes after.

[@ajbluefish]

yes just wat i needed in life oof

[@valentinatran8554]

Thank god that'S NOT AN e FLAT

[@malthuswasright]

I'd like to hear real bassoonists playing this rather than the software.

[@reeds7777]

me too, me too..

[@alicagangunduz8488]

It would actually be better if you used g sharps instead of a flats because of the tone of the piece.

[@gabrielhenschen9665]

It's not A-flat but G-sharp omg

[@ApsisApocynthion]

Yikes. Plz don’t end on a P4 like that. Just end on octave As. Also, G# would express the function so much more clearly.

[@ЖуйБамбук]

Гармонии не учили? ??? As in a moll ???

[@gregoryborton6598]

A flats should be G sharps..

[@979orir]

I'm sorry but this really bothers me. It's a G# and not an Ab consistent...

[@theonlinetubist9504]

OMG THE TIMING IS SO OFF!!!!!!!!!

[@octonion1917]

It's not in sync
