An Electric Performance

On an electric bassoon! (Once again, a bassoonist is doing something fun. We oboists need to do something fun, don’t you think?)

Pretty neat. I’d much rather hear that contra he’s got tucked away behind though…

I hear a contra behind me at every rehearsal (and now moving into performances) of Anna Karenina. The player and I have, in fact, a solo together. :-)

You with the contrabassoon? Wouldn’t that be a duet together? :)

Actually I’d think of it more as a soli … but you can call it a duet if you want. I just wrote “solo” rather than getting into the whole music lingo thing …

But it’s an interesting thing, to take this somewhat seriously. Some things I think of duets, and some I think of as solos. I’m not exactly sure how to explain it.

It’s a rather interesting soli/duet/solo; unison oboe & contra octaves apart … & not exactly easy intervals.
