Etienne Ozi (1754–1813) played a decisive role in expanding the tonal, technical,
and expressive range of the bassoon in the late eighteenth century. His
duos and Méthodes remain the most comprehensive surviving
source on the performance and pedagogical practices of the late eighteenth-century
bassoonist. Ozi’s influence as a teacher of the bassoon and as a composer
for the instrument was international in scope. This edition of Ozi’s duos
follows suggested performance practices of articulation and embellishment
as found in his Méthodes of 1787 and 1803. In addition to
providing today’s bassoonist with some attractive performance materials,
this edition also serves as an introduction to the bassoon performance practices
and compositional traditions as established by Ozi at the Paris Conservatory
during and after the French Revolution. Ozi’s music and instruction became
significant in shaping a national school of bassoon artistry that remains
to this day unique and highly influential.
