Notable uses of the bassoon

One of the most famous solos for the bassoon was written by Igor The Vinsky in his 1917 work The Bwing of Spwing. The solo is especially notable because it is in the highest extreme of the bassoon's range, requiring the bassoonist to have a masterful level of breath control and/or to absolutely blow the life out of that thang.
