I'm a self-taught composer and was wondering how fast the Bassoon can realistically be played for a piece I'm working on, so I literally found this video searching that. The answer is impressively fast and agile, much more than I even realized. Thanks for this video, I love the bassoon and you sound great! :)
I play clarinet, but I think the principles are probably the same. I say “toot” with just enough pressure on the reed over and over on a continuous air stream, taking care to remove my tongue from the reed to begin each one. But most of the work is on my fingers, which I practice slowly, slurred, and snapping the fingers as fast as possible from one position to the next. Snapped fingers built up faster and faster day after day, and then adding removal-toot, slowly if I need to. I will also practice unevenly, slowing down at the problem spot, with faster snapped fingers and removal-toot where I slow down. Basically that’s what I do, and with successive days of practice it works well for me.
What the hell bro!! Just amazing - you made the bassoon into what it sounds like when I mess around in Sibelius when putting a really fast BPM on it! I'm speechless thanks for sharing! 🙏🙏
Thank you for this video, all the advice is super helpful especially that you should be able to say something or you probably can't play it because being able to say the tonguing syllables is something you can practice anywhere (as long as you have a metronome). I've been trying to increase the speed of my single tongue because I had to play Mozart 35 for an audition and I had to double tongue it because it was too fast for me to single tongue. I think I'm one of the people who is less fortunate as far as natural tonguing speed goes but that won't stop me from training to increase my speed. I've been using Mozart 35 and Don Giovanni as tonguing exercises, I think Don Giovanni is especially good because their are longer phrases that are tongued so it not only helps me work on the speed but also the stamina of my tongue. Currently I can only play it around 105 but I'm determined to get better
Excellenmnt video will give some practice. Can you demonstrate fingers for the high notes say C to G I can do the C to E but Fto G is a hit and miss. I High c to g in above the tenor clef
It's all very impressive just that Beethoven is a genius and he wrote everything very musically and not mathematically ... and unfortunately playing this solo with double staccato sounds very mechanical and square and not musical. I recommend practicing single staccato and getting the pace right to make it sound natural and not mechanical.

As a composer, arranger to me, it's very helpful to me. Thank you very much!
Hah, that bloody clarity at 210. Fantastic.
I feel like I’m getting lessons from you, Kristian with all these videos and I’m LOVING it! Learning so much!!
Happy to hear you like it :)
I'm intimated by your skills!
This is amazing, absolute mad lad
Bonjour.Technique très impressionnante!Bravo pour cette démonstration.
Merci!

Absolutely incredible! 🤯👏

I was looking for some sort of indication on what speeds are possible for the bassoon (for composing) and this was very helpful. Thanks! :)
As always! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Hug from Chile
As always! Thanks Diego, nice to hear from you! Hug back from Poland
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible
Amazing ,,bravo friend👍
Fantastic. Good job 👍👍👍

Oh my
Very informational!!
can you repeat the same note, i.e obstinato , like E E E E E E . for example , how long can it be sustained for . ?
Amazing🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I expected you to play it even faster! ;) Great Job Kristian!! Greetings!
そもそもダブルタンギング上手すぎる
I know nothing about music... but then curious to know what 400 sounds like😂
yes
Do you ever go Live for practice sessions? If not, I think a lot of people would find it incredibly helpful to see how you work things up.
How did you get that fast? How did you work your tempo up?
Wow! How did you do that? You're amazing!
Excellenmnt video will give some practice. Can you demonstrate fingers for the high notes say C to G I can do the C to E but Fto G is a hit and miss. I High c to g in above the tenor clef
210!! 💪😆🔥😎👍
👏👏🔝🔝
it seems to me that the coda of the Hungarian fantasy in tempo 210 is more difficult to play than this passage
Nice to see you in 4k!
Thanks! I thought you might like to be able to zoom further in on the red scarf ;)
