Weissenborn - 50 Advanced Studies, Op. 8 Vol. II
I decided to create a new, lightly edited version of these studies for use in my teaching because students kept coming in with the older editions available on IMSLP which have misprints, confusing indications, and outdated notation. While I encourage students to purchase modern editions for their excellent presentation and valuable commentary, financial considerations make this prohibitive for some. So, I decided that being 140+ years old - and fully retaining their instructional and educational value - these studies deserve a clean, free edition.
I prepared these Studies in three different sizes to give bassoonists a choice depending on how they prefer read these studies. If you intend to read off a tablet or other electronic device, I recommend the Full Size Version. If you intend to print them, you can choose a size based on how many pages you would like. Note that these have been formatted to function as booklets, which is why the numbers of pages are multiples of four. Also, these editions are formatted for 12 x 18 size paper, so if you print on 11 x 17 or 8.5 x 11 make sure to click "Fit" or "Shrink oversized pages" so the music will not be cut off. Note also that this will reduce the printed size of the music. If you would like a printed version, but printing is prohibitively difficult or expensive for any reason, please contact me to request a print copy and I will ship one to you if possible.
