Abstract [en]

An examination of the role and musical development of the contrabassoon throughout the different periods. The study is being made through analyzing various common orchestra excerpts, both in themselves and in relation to the scores. Furthermore, the thesis contains my own ideas of and reflections on the excerpts.    

In the end I will briefly touch the subject of how the contrabassoon is being used in contemporary pieces and how it is constantly being developed.
