The First Book of Bassoon Solos has been prepared for the true beginner by Walter Bergmann and Lyndon Hilling, who both have composed several original pieces within this book as well. The 28 pieces are arranged in an approximate order of difficulty to provide a wide range of music for study and performance. They should be practiced and performed with careful attention to intonation, rhythm, dynamics, tone quality, character, style and deportment.
