碩士 === 台南應用科技大學 === 音樂研究所 === 99 === Mozart’s (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756-1791) only bassoon concerto, K 191, completed in 1774, already anticipated the technical advances that would give birth to the modern bassoon. Even though K 191 remains saturated with the musical language of Baroque, it also took it to new frontiers of sound. This thesis examines Mozart’s K 191 in the context of both the development of concerto between Baroque and Classicism and the growth of Mozart’s musicianship, especially his conceptualization of the bass register. In addition, it gives an interpretation of this concerto within the framework of current music research and analysis. The purpose is to show, to the extent possible, Mozart at work as a composer, and composition as a process. Basing itself on the 1986 Barenreitre edition of the orchestral scores and the 2005 edition of the scores adapted for bassoon and piano, this thesis breaks down the three movements of the concerto into small parts in order to demonstrate how minute details accelerate into a whole concerto that embodies the spirit of Baroque and at the same time brings Classicism into full swing.
