All the rage
Rackett

Apparently, Carl Maria von Weber's Concerto in F Major, Op. 75 is the piece all the bassoonists are posting on the YouTube. This kid does a surprisingly good job at making the virtuosic piece flow quite lyrically.

The rackett should be arriving this month or next month, and assuming it has the range to play it, I think the von Weber piece is one I'd like to work towards. And a friend of mine managed to find a PDF of the score (in Русский, but notes are notes), so I've got something to work from. (If we still lived in Tampa or Tallahassee, the music would be easy to find locally, but would you believe a university which boasts of being one of the ten largest university systems in the country has no music program - and hence no music library - at its flagship campus? Philistines!)
