Carl Maria von Weber Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Bassoon Concerto in F major, Op. 75Carl Maria von Weber36rank/position

C.M. WEBER – KONCERT PRO FAGOT A ORCHESTR F DUR, OP.75 / M.ŠPAČKOVÁ – FAGOT, SOPK – 30.04.2015

A work for bassoon composed by Weber in his youth.

It consists of three movements and is characterized by dramatic, opera-like expression.

The first movement is forceful and virtuosic, the second features a beautiful, songlike melody, and the third is light and lively.

At the time of its composition in 1811, the piece showcased new possibilities for the bassoon.

The dialogue between the orchestra and the bassoon is striking, fully drawing out the instrument’s wide tonal range and expressive power.

If you love classical music—or if you’d like to discover the charm of the bassoon—be sure to give it a listen.
