Product Description
The composer, Miguel de Lope joined the Royal Chapel as bassoonist player in 1756 and in
1790 he won the first place for this instrument.
The Sonata for bassoon is a work composed for the Bajón opposition to the Royal Chapel in
1791. On the cover is "Sonata de Bajon/ Para la Oposicion de la Tercera Plaza Vacante en la Rl.
Caplla. De S. M./De D. Miguel de Lope/1791./Se executó el dia 9 de febrero".
The original manuscript is composed to be played with bass and unencrypted bass
accompaniment. The author has opted for the option of performing a harmonized
accompaniment to facilitate its interpretation and dissemination in professional and academic
fields. In this way it can be interpreted (its interpretation is proposed) both as a duet (with
bassoon or cello accompaniment) or as a sonata in two movements (with piano or harpsichord
accompaniment).
It presents a certain technical difficulty and shows a musical and aesthetic interest similar to
the European classicism of its time.
