This masterclass will focus on repertoire from the high baroque and classical periods through the lens of two of the most important bassoon resources of this time: Johann Joachim Quantz’s “On Playing the Flute”, and Étienne Ozi’s “Method for Bassoon”. Participants will examine ways to further embellish pre-composed melodies by way of a guided improvisation where participants devise embellishments informed by the treatises. 11:30am EST/8:30am PST (90 minutes) Click here to join the zoom meeting
