Working on a new solo album for bassoon alone called OUTSIDE including 4 addictive solo preludes by Mathieu Lussier, 2 solos works by Marc Mellits (Frost & Dark Matter), Jacqueline Wilson’s lovely Dance Suite plus duos by Mellits and Gubaidulina. Last week I recorded Marc Mellits’ wonderful BLACK for two bassoons with my superstar colleague, Nicolas Richard (principal bassoon Symphony Nova Scotia), and this week, I’m starting rehearsals with Kevin Harris for Sofia Gubaidulina’s duo sonata. This work has some delicate and robust extended techniques, including quarter tones. Here is the quarter-tone fingering chart that I developed for my Heckel 13,479 (three bassoons ago). . . most of the fingerings seem to work on the Bell but it takes drilling (repetition) for it to become second nature. Take a look and see if they work for you. Ignore the page numbers (25-30) as these are the rough notes for a larger manual that I built for my students.
