  1. Today’s workday: taught a couple Alexander technique students. Then practised some (about a million it felt like) hymns for a church service next Sunday. In Dutch. Then a recorder lesson and one more AT-lesson. After dinner rushed through two parts of Mozart op35 on bassoon, just before the recorder group arrived to practise for tomorrow’s students’ concert. It was not a boring day!

  2. Discovered today that apparently I can read tenor clef on bass recorder. A student was playing a sonata by Barsanti (and told me she had become a fan, yay a covert!), and I was accompanying by playing the bass line on a basset. Suddenly one slow movement was all in tenor clef, eek.

    But while playing it I realized that of course I play tenor clef on bassoon all the time. Now bassoon fingerings in tenor register aren't the same as recorder fingerings, but apparently I have also learned to associate the notes with their names by now. Hadn't realized that had happened!

    Only problem was that every now and then the bass line would go too low and i'd have the feeling that I didn't have enough recorder in my hands to keep playing. Suddenly transposing an octave up in tenor clef is clearly one step too far for now!

  3. New rule for myself: from now on the bassoon wing swab and the bocal swab will never, ever, ever be left next to each other on the table. Luckily I realized quickly that I was trying to pull something much too thick through the bocal. Stopped just in time to get it out without damaging anything. 😳

  4. A gorgeous performance of Rossini's Duetto for Violoncello and Contrabass in D Major by Matthias Racz on bassoon and Hans Agreda on contrabassoon!

  5. An orchestral song I have just composed: «Four murders». It's written for oboes, bassoon, horns, piano, solo cello, and cellos & double basses sections.

    PS: The sound is straight away from #MuseScore

  6. I made a reed! Entirely on my own without assistance from my teacher. And it works! 🥳

  7. As the #NewMusicTeacher was a #GrownUp; he #Decided that #TheBestThing for us #ToDo was to #Learn #HowToSing; because, #IT would #GiveUs all a #Shared and #CollectiveExperience of #Music, which was a #SoundRationale...

    What #HeFailed to #Appreciate was that I and my 8-#Compatriots were #AlreadyQuiteSkilled in #SeveralInstruments, which we #AlreadyOwned. #InMyCase (as a #Bassist) a #Cello, a #Trombone, and a #Bassoon. My #RomanCatholicMother had also #Made #SeparateArrangements for me to #Attend #AdditionalCoaching on the #Piano, which was #Lovely...

    My #Compatriots were also #FairlyWellAccomplished on a #Range of #Instruments from which we were able to #Form a #RelativelySmall; but, #ComprehensiveOrchestra... #MainlyBecause were were already #VeryAppreciative of #Music... #InGeneral and #QuiteSpecifically...

    Tempo Canons (for unspecified quartet)

    This piece is a set of five canons, played back-to-back: all four parts play (almost) the exact same thing, but starting at different times and at different pitches. And most interestingly: different tempos.
