| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 音樂研究所 === 97 === As the bassoon was not a favorite instrument for composers of the 17th century, the surviving bassoon repertoire is scant. Apart from the works by prolific composers, such as A. Vivaldi (1678-1741), G. P. Telemann (1681-1767), and F. Danzi (1763-1826), common bassoon repertoires include the Concerto in B-flat Major, K191 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1765-1791) in the Classical period; and the Concerto in F Major, Op75 and Andante e Rondo Ungarese, Op. 35 by Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) in the Romantic period.
Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a composer, pianist, and educator of the Classical period, wrote the first bassoon concerto in history, his Concerto in F Major. As it is comparable to the above masterpieces, this study will investigate this work in terms of structure, the history of the composer, the background to the composition, the musical style of the period, and the form, rhythm, harmony, and mode employed by the composer. This in-depth study of the work may assist in interpreting the work with more expression and allow bassoonists and fans of bassoon music to better understand and enjoy this work.
