This is the kind of bassoon that Beethoven and Schubert would have been familiar with, and for which Weber wrote his Bassoon Concerto. You can hear it being played on Boxwood & Brass’s CD: Music for a Prussian Salon: #/music-for-a-prussian-salon/ Beethoven Transformed: Read more about the classical bassoon here: #/classical-bassoon/ Featuring Robert Percival - principal bassoon, Boxwood & Brass Film by Angela Guyton ht
