The song is "The embodiment of scarlet devil" in the Touhou Koumakyou series
Have two links to a simplified piano version played by Asher Denburg www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iankyw47vqY
Aaaaand another one to a not simplified one with the keys on a piano you need to play for this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=tds0qoxWVss
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil is the name of the game the song is from. The song is called "U.N Owen Was Her?" And has been mistaken at times for a completely different, intentionally unplayable, piano song called Death Waltz, pictured here.
No idea. I dont play bassoon. I dont even remember hearing their part, and im not even sure they had a part in the original piece. It might have just been added in.
I don't think it's possible to have any true "fun" playing the bassoon until you get into professional orchestras because a lot of pieces just give the bassoons the tuba bassline, or the 2nd clarinet part, unless you play in the hall of the mountain king, or you play a not so famous piece called "The bean festival" Which is written around the bassoon (for obvious, flatulence reasons)
Well, in more recent music, probably. But we are playing an old piece by Percy Grainger, which is very different from what you'd hear in most high school bands. So im sure thats why they have the melody more often.
