One of the most famous works from Johann Strauss II, the king of waltz, now arranged for bassoon quartet.
The Fledermaus-Quadrille Op. 363 takes motives from the operetta Die Fledermaus (The Bat) written by Johann Strauss II itself and combines them in an exciting 6-movements dance suite:
1 - Pantalon
2 - Été
3 - Poule
4 - Trénis
5 - Pastourelle
6 - Finale
Many of the melodies here contained are often performed at New Year's concerts and at Christmas festivities' events.
The arrangement is carefully made by keeping in mind the instrument's charachteristics and by distributing the melodic motives among all the four players, making it pleasurable to play for each member of the quartet.
Nonetheless, the difficulty of the parts decreases progressively going from the 1st bassoon (more difficult) to the 4th bassoon (much easier).
Have fun!
