  • Music Written for Bassoon by Bassoonists: an Overview
    Music Written for Bassoon by Bassoonists: An Overview By: Michael Burns Burns, Michael. “Music for Bassoon by Bassoonists an Overview.” The Double Reed, vol. 24-2, 2001. Made available courtesy of International Double Reed Society: http://www.idrs.org/publications/ ***Note: This version of the document is not the copy of record. ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document In his article on the bassoon in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, William Waterhouse, the prominent British bassoonist and scholar, lists some of the earliest known works written for bassoon1. Several pieces are listed that feature it either as part of an ensemble or in combination with one or two other solo instruments. It is worth noting that the first known composition for the bassoon alone is by a bassoonist, Fantasia per fagotto solo, a set of variations, appears in a collection written by Bertoloméo de Selma y Salaverde, a seventeenth century Spanish monk, bassoonist, and composer who published the Libro de Canzoni, Fantasia e Correnti in Venice in 16382. This work is also notable in that it descends down to a low Bb (Bbl), a note which was not believed to be possible on the instruments of that time, leading to speculation that perhaps he was already using a four-keyed bassoon3. A dedicatory sonnet accompanying the Libro de Canzoni, Fantasie e Correnti praises Selma y Salaverde for his skill on the bassoon4. Bertoloméo was bassoonist to the Archduke Leopold of Austria and the florid variations indicate a high technical proficiency'.5 His Italian contemporary, Giovanni Antonio Berton (1605-1669), was another bassoonist and composer who published a set of nine solo sonatas for bassoon and basso continuo, the Compositioni musicali, in Venice in 1645 with the following preface: I do not consider any less worthy of criticism the person who (because of excessive obstinacy according to the judgment of learned men) refuses to print the fruits of his genius than the one who too brazenly and thoughtlessly publishes his works.
