District 10 Instrumental Directors
With the utmost in apologies, it has come to our attention that there are issues and concerns with the current bassoon solo that appears on the repertoire list for December auditions.  After CAREFUL consideration, the D10 ExCom has decided to use the FOLLOWING BASSOON PIECE for auditions this year RATHER than what was previously listed: 

BASSOON: Bassoon Concerto in A Minor (RV498), Vivaldi/Sharrow,
Movements 2 and 3,  International Music Co #2352.

We realize and understand that the list has been posted for about 2 weeks now and the decision to change pieces was NOT taken lightly.  Please inform ANY POTENTIAL student bassoonists of this change at once.  We apologize for ANY inconvenience at all, but from an educational perspective, this is a better way to go and the lesser of two evils at this point. 


As well, be aware that we have been informed that depending upon the printing of the horn solo you are using, there are TWO POTENTIAL PITCH ERRORS.  Those errors are as follows, with corrections noted:
Second Movement, Measure 81, E should be an E Flat
First Movement, 5th note in measure 180 should be 4th line D not C
Please inform your students of this.

Thank you for your patience in this matter.  Putting together all these new solos in four year rotations was no easy task under the circumstances we all endured this spring.  We all appreciate your understanding.
