About the book
Carl Maria von Weber wrote his Bassoon Concerto in F in 1811 for Georg Friedrich Brandt of the Munich court orchestra, in the same months as his two clarinet concertos, and revised it in 1822. A military, operatic Allegro gives way to an Adagio in which the bassoon sings over two horns, and a buffo Rondo that sends the soloist leaping across its whole range.
The accompaniment is Friedrich Hermann's piano reduction of the orchestra (Schlesinger, Berlin, c. 1870), which is in the public domain.
