Subj: [DR-L] arrangements of solo pieces w/orchestra
Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:27:22 -0400
Hello everybody!=0AI just learned that there is a nice arrangement of the W=
eber Andante and Rondo Ungarese for bassoon and string trio by Mordechai Re=
chtman. I wonder if there are other arrangements like this around - not nec=
essarily string trio, but any chamber ensemble adaptation of pieces for bas=
soon and orchestra. After all, finding an orchestra to play with is not alw=
ays so easy - and one gets tired of hearing, teaching and playing these wor=
ks for bassoon and piano all the time. I think I heard about an arrangement=
of the Mozart concerto for bassoon and wind octet as well. Any others?=0A=
