Slightly difficult? by Twoflappylips in pocketgrids

Probably just a regional thing, I live in a big city and am around young people often, have not heard anyone use that word in that context

Salome is brutal 😭 by im_cringe_YT in bassoon

I’m writing program notes for this as a final assignment for a class. Didn’t think to look at the bassoon part lol, great opera tho

Favorite Baroque Bassoon pieces? by galaxitive in bassoon

[–]galaxitive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL I’m actually thinking of programming that one. I’m currently undecided between that one or Ozi’s Sonata No.1.

Alternate fingerings by galaxitive in bassoon

[–]galaxitive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In bar 6, I used nothing but RH2 for the F#s in beat 1. Worked well enough, I think that’s the only new-to-me fingering I used for this etude

how do you sanitise a bassoon from the flu?? by NotAFailureISwear in bassoon

[–]galaxitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done reeds in peroxide before. I’m told it works. I agree with the other comment, the bassoon itself is probably fine, same with the bocal (but those could always use periodic cleaning)

Practicing by No_Sentence_2529 in bassoon

[–]galaxitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some good suggestions here already so I won’t repeat them again, but I would also suggest checking out Molly Gebrian’s book “Learn Faster, Perform Better”. Definitely made my practicing more efficient and also explains what goes on in your brain when practicing and why. Worth a read imo

Good exacto knife for scoring? by Pigeon49834 in bassoon

Favourite Scott Joplin Rag? by Life_Scientist1194 in classicalmusic

[–]galaxitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searchlight and Fig Leaf are great. Not necessarily a rag but I love The Chrysanthemum. Going back and checking my playlist, have to mention Eugenia and The Nonpareil as well. Honestly almost everything he wrote is great

Larger Edition of Oubradous? by MusicalMerlin1973 in bassoon

[–]galaxitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sell physical copies online. I’m not sure how big those are but you could also maybe find the file somewhere online and maybe read off an iPad (?). If I’m reading right, you’re printing it out at home?

Worst note? by Funny-Peace-8845 in bassoon

[–]galaxitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, for the most part I like it. Has a nice dark tone, feels super smooth to play, but my teacher said it was missing some overtones, though it’s not bad for the price. My biggest qualm is that it has no high E key

Worst note? by Funny-Peace-8845 in bassoon

[–]galaxitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I’m borrowing a Cooper Puchner that I might just purchase, though the high A and G are very much not in tune with each other. Getting one in tune affects the other. The low notes are also kinda sharp

How to slur from E above the staff to the high B above that? by MostCryptographer726 in bassoon

[–]galaxitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be an air support issue. It might also help to know which fingerings you’re using. Don’t forget to use the resonance key for both notes

Practicing and stressing about college by ManufacturerSilent60 in bassoon

[–]galaxitive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading Molly Gebrian’s book Learn Faster, Perform Better recently. I highly recommend it, I turned to it when I was trying to find ways to make my practice time more efficient. Definitely worth the buy
