Bassoon Quartet Publications
21 Bassoon quartet and ensemble pieces are now available for purchase in sheet music form. All with parts and score. The Bros derangements are derived from our three quartet CDs Wanted, Captured and Bassoon Brothers Escaped. Most Bassoon Brothers arrangements are for three bassoons (b) and contrabassoon (cb) (3bcb). Some arrangements have an optional tenoroon (fagottino in F) (t) or sopranoon (octave bassoon) (sop).

Copyright laws allow the Bassoon Brothers to record our arrangements of living composers works and we pay royalties to their publishers, but this right is not automatically extended to others nor is any other use of their work allowed.
