This digital download contains 4½ Hours of Music - Your Perfect Practice Companion!

This archive contains professional MP3 accompaniment tracks for bassoon, along with the PDF sheet music for every piece. Everything you need is in one download so you can start playing right away

How it works:

  1. Download the archive
  2. Open the PDF for the piece you want to play
  3. Press play on the matching MP3 accompaniment track

Each piece includes two tracks:

  • PDF sheet music for each piece
  • A complete recording with bassoon and keyboard
  • A keyboard-only version, so you can play the bassoon part yourself
    (Duets also include a full version and one with just the second part.)

And because some pieces can twist your fingers into a pretzel, we’ve also included slowed-down versions of the fast movements—about 15% slower, just enough to take the edge off while still being fun to play. You'll find the full-tempo versions right there too, once you're ready to turn up the heat.

No separate purchase is required to get the sheet music for the tracks in this collection.

This is the downloadable edition. Prefer a USB flash drive instead? View the USB edition here.
