first bassoon part

I'm playing the first bassoon part for one of our student symphony pieces. A lot of eighth notes - three pages full, but I played almost 2 of the 3 pages just now, and it is fun music, if I can keep up once we do it at full speed.

I worked on the Allegreto exercise, and on a piece on pp. 12 - 13 of the Beeler.

I may do another practice session later on tonight. It is quite pleasing to have chops in such good shape after playing that Christmas music. I played for about an hour just now and could barely feel the effects.
