Drawing on Johnny Reinhard's lifelong exploration of microtonality as bassoonist, composer, and musicologist, this pioneering book reveals a remarkable flexibility of pitch hidden within the modern bassoon and places it directly in the hands of performers and composers. Far more than a technical reference, the book is an invitation to rethink the bassoon itself: an instrument capable of moving beyond the familiar divisions of the twelve-tone system into a rich landscape of alternative tunings, subtle inflections and new harmonic colours. Reinhard brings together decades of research, experimentation and practical experience to demonstrate that microtonality is not an exotic extension of the instrument, but a natural expansion of its expressive voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bassoonists, the book offers a pathway towards greater freedom, precision and intimacy with their instrument. for composers, it opens possibilities for writing with confidence beyond conventional tuning, transforming the bassoon into an extraordinarily versatile resource for contemporary musical imagination. Accessible, adventurous and grounded in performance experience, \u003cem\u003eMicrotonal Bassoon Fingerings\u003c\/em\u003e is both an essential reference and an inspiring exploration of what becomes possible when pitch itself is rediscovered as a field of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Composers Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950018560079,"sku":"ce-b-jr1mbf1-pr-perf","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e5b8b0643246783577ba0336a3be3ce5.jpg?v=1793384106","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/microtonal-bassoon-fingerings-composers-edition","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
