Sonata In C [Bassoon (or Violoncello) and Piano]

This edition of the significant bassoon sonata by Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688-1758), a contemporary of J.S. Bach, is published for the very first time using a manuscript copy found in the Archiepiscopal Academy Library in Paderborn. The dynamics, phrasing, and ornamentation have all been added by the editor, and a few obvious copying errors have been corrected. The range of the solo part and its melodious style render the work equally appropriate for bassoon or cello. The continuo part has been realized simply and sparingly, according to the practice of that time. Includes a foreword by editor Johannes Wojciechowski in German and English.
