Subj: [DR-L] Bn. subbing for cello part???
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 14:08:54 -0400
Hi List:
I made an important discovery today : the bassoon is an excellent sub for
the cello.Sounds obvious? Well not always.
My group is performing the Stamitz Quartet and a double concerto(fl and
oboe) with strings,etc and our cellist is not available. The bassoon is an
excellent sub in both works.
Only I find that we have to ask the bassoon to play a bit more vibrato,
longer notes and often much softer (muted would be best) to sub for our
cello player.
Any other suggestions?
Observations,comments especially from bassoon players are welcome.
Best ,
Harold Emert
