I would have to agree with you there. However it is common place for groups to drop the contra in an attempt to satisfy the bean counters. It is a truncated...
Bassoon brethren; I recently bought a copy of the Paganini violin/bassoon duos. I was just about to scan the violin part so that I could send it to a...

IMH( and biased :) ) 0 -- Both times I recorded Gran Partita we used a bass (me :) ) AND A contra and It was a glorious sound :) _P. Kellach Waddle_...

The "ad libitum" contrabassoon in the Brahms Requiem is a similar situation to the contra part to the Beethoven Missa Solemnis. In the Peters score, the...

Hello List, I am about to undertake an audition in a couple of weeks for 3rd/Contra. For contra they requested a solo of my choice. Having never been in this ...
I guess maybe the only way to be sure about the contrabassoon part to the Dvorak Serenade would be to see if it's in the composer's manuscript. Even then, it's...
