The Art of Preluding was once common practice but more or less disappeared during the last century. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in reviving this artform. The content found on the website is the result of years of research in the artistic and pedagogical field, and an academic research project at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp in Belgium. It relies on historical didactic instructions to make preluding at the piano accessible and up-to-date again, and promotes the development of a contemporary approach.

This article is about two of the greatest composers who wrote Bassoon Concertos - Franz Danzi and Andre Jolivet. It covers information about their lives, experiences, musical periods and Concertos. What made me do this research is that I really enjoy listening to and performing their concerts as well as Danzi's well-known Woodwind Quintets. I find a lot of inspiration, meaning and opportunities for expression in their music and I hope the reader could too.
