Going Solo, Bassoon

Going Solo (Bassoon) is a lively collection arranged by Graham Sheen, designed to bridge the gap between music for beginners and more advanced solos, Grades 4 to 5 upwards, enabling the young player to face a conductor or an audience with complete confidence.

This selection avoids the easy marches, minuets, and sarabands so often seen, and introduces an essentially idiomatic repertoire for the intermediate bassoonist (with piano accompaniment), consisting of transcriptions of famous solos from orchestral masterpieces, alongside arrangements of pieces ranging from the Renaissance to the 20th century.

Songs Included 

• Grieg: In the Hall of the Mountain King (Peer Gynt)
• Bizet: Carmen
• Rimsky-Korsakov: Theme (Schherazade)
• Handel: Jig (Water Music)
• And More!

This edition includes a complete piano accompaniment book plus a convenient, removable solo insert.

Select songs in this collection are listed in the RCM Bassoon Syllabus for levels 2 and 3.
