Bassoon Quotes

• Había una vez un babuino inteligente,
  que siempre respiraba por un fagot,
  Porque dijo, Parece
  Que en miles de millones de años
  sin duda daré con una melodía.

  Tempestuous clarion, with heavy cry,
  Came bluntly thundering, more terrible
  Than the revenge of music on bassoons.

• Your hands are like dogs, going to the same places they've been. You have to be careful when playing is no longer in the mind but in the fingers, going to happy places. You have to break them of their habits or you don't explore; you only play what is confident and pleasing. I'm learning to break those habits by playing instruments I know absolutely nothing about, like a bassoon or a waterphone.

  Tom Waits

• All night have the roses heard
  The flute, violin, bassoon;
  All night has the casement jessamine stirr'd
  To the dancers dancing in tune;
  Till a silence fell with the waking bird,
  And a hush with the setting moon.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

• It was pleasant to wake up in Florence, to open the eyes upon a bright bare room, with a floor of red tiles which look clean though they are not; with a painted ceiling whereon pink griffins and blue amorini sport in a forest of yellow violins and bassoons. It was pleasant, too, to fling wide the windows, pinching the fingers in unfamiliar fastenings, to lean out into sunshine with beautiful hills and trees and marble churches opposite, and, close below, Arno, gurgling against the embankment of the road.
