tchaikovsky symphony no. 4, ii (asyo 2008)
from bassoon ideas and excerpts Hosted by Fletcher Forehand
this excerpt is at the very end of the second movement, and it can be thought of as a quiet answer to the opening melody played by the oboe (same material, though the bassoon version is slightly truncated). as with any excerpt, listen to enough recordings so you can get a good feeling for the context of the excerpt as well as a few ideas that you would like to emulate when you play the excerpt. it is good to have a point of view when you play. figure out what this says to you and what you want it to say to the audience/audition committee, then practice executing your ideas.
