About this exposition

When we talk about playing legato on a wind instrument, it may seem simple because it seems that you just keep on blowing while moving your fingers, but in fact, legato on bassoon requires great skill and knowledge. This leads us to ask the following questionsHow does the meaning of this articulation change over different historical periods? And, when playing legato on the bassoon, what makes it good and how can this technique be developed in practice? This research is divided into two parts. The first part aims to clarify the relationship between slur and legato and how it should be executed, as well as documenting historical information and analysing treatises from different periods. The second part has a practical focus, where different factors that can intervene when executing a good legato are studied through experimentation and reflection. In this part, fragments of different works are used to locate different problems and study how to solve them. The goal of this research is to develop my mastery over music in general, especially during the theoretical-practical approach of this research. Also, it has helped me to have a better understanding of the use of articulation, as well as being more aware of how to approach and locate problems, and thus analyse them and find the most optimal solutions using different methods and at the same time see which one is the most convenient and which one works best for me personally.
