Description
Bach’s Toccata & Fugue in d minor is one of the most recognizable pieces in the Baroque repertoire. The Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet turns this dramatic work into an arrangement for four bassoons, with an optional contrabassoon (but let’s be honest…more contra!).
The arrangement is part of the Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet Editions and was designed to complement the more serious side of a performance.

Why play it?
Because four bassoons need to sound powerful.
Bach’s Toccata & Fugue in d minor provides a dramatic contrast to the lighter and more comedic pieces often associated with The Breaking Winds. The bassoon’s dark, powerful sound makes it particularly well suited to the character of this famous work.
The arrangement can be performed as a quartet with four bassoons or expanded with an optional contrabassoon.
