Bassoon

The sound of the bassoon is balanced and calmly beautiful and resembles the human baritone voice. With its three and a half octave range, the bassoon sounds full and powerful, especially in the lower register, and somewhat plaintive and melancholy in the upper register. One of the bassoon's main characteristics is its ability to blend well with almost all other instruments.

Das Fagott findet seinen Einsatz in allen Musikepochen seit der Barockzeit, besonders in Orchestern in der Bassgruppe, in vielen kammermusikalischen Besetzungen der klassischen Musik wie auch in der Unterhaltungsmusik.
