Telemann Transcriptions
Telemann wrote beautifully and idiomatically for the bassoon, taking advantage of its broad range and lyrical qualities. Remarkably, much of this repertoire was indicated to be performed on either bassoon or recorder, despite the discrepancies between these instruments in range and timbre. Taking inspiration from the versatility of Telemann’s works, I’ve been exploring possibilities for expanding the repertoire for our instrument. Below are a few pieces I’ve adapted for the bassoon, adjusting the keys and registers as necessary to fit our instrument. Please feel free to download and share—I hope you enjoy playing them!
