A new research project, "Fagottini andtenoroons- small, forgotten giants: Exploring the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century history, repertoire and usage of small-scale bassoons in performance and pedagogy” began its work at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in October 2017. Funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the two-year pilot project is focusing on the documentation of surviving eighteenth- and nineteenth-century instruments and compiling a repertoire list for small-scale bassoons. Led by Prof. Dr. Thomas Drescher, director of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, the fagottino project team further consists of five historical bassoon performers and teachers: Prof. Dr. Donna Agrell, SCB and Royal Conservatoire The Hague, Dr. Áurea Domínguez, Giovanni Battista Graziadio, Zoë Matthews, and Letizia Viola.
