This article is about two of the greatest composers who wrote Bassoon Concertos - Franz Danzi and Andre Jolivet. It covers information about their lives, experiences, musical periods and Concertos. What made me do this research is that I really enjoy listening to and performing their concerts as well as Danzi's well-known Woodwind Quintets. I find a lot of inspiration, meaning and opportunities for expression in their music and I hope the reader could too.
