BsnXcerpts

Contained in this app are 46 excerpts commonly asked on orchestral auditions. Every effort has been made to keep the visual quality high, without sacrificing the original appearance of the excerpts. Some of the excerpts may not look the best, but it is in my opinion that this is better than re-engraving the parts. This app is equally geared towards bassoon and contrabassoon, containing the major excerpts for both instruments.

You can also get random excerpts using the "randomize" feature, and get a jump start on auditions.
