50+ Greatest Intermediate Classics for Bassoon is a collection of favourite melodies arranged especially for the intermediate to advanced bassoon player, starting with the easiest. Great for advanced sight-reading practice or just for fun.
Assuming a good knowledge of the bassoon and music reading, some pieces are one page, others longer; the music ranges from low B flat to fourth octave B although the notes are easier in the first part of the book.
