Original Narrative: There being some confusion about the description by different writers of the oboe da caccia and oboe d'amore, I fall back upon Dr. W. H. Stone's authoritative definition that the oboe da caccia is a bassoon raised a fourth in pitch, while the oboe d'amore is an oboe lowered a fifth . The bassoon , the centre figure in the print, has been regarded as a development of the bass pommer or Bombardone, and the transformation has been generally attributed to a canon of Ferrara named Afranio, a native of Pavia. The dolciano, to the extreme left of the print, will be thus seen to owe the suggestion of its name to the original bassoon . But this instrument has a clarinet or beating reed , not the double reed of the oboe and bassoon. I state this fact upon the high authority of Mr. Henry Lazarus, the clarinet-player, who names it " tenoroon," but Dr. Stone has accepted this name as a synonym of the oboe da caccia, and calls this instrument with a clarinet reed , " dolciano ." Mr. Lazarus, when in the Band of the Royal Military Asylum, played upon such an instrument, as he informs me, made by Garrett of Westminster, at a date that must have preceded Sax's invention , which combined the conical tube and clarinet reed in the Saxophone. The basset horn , or corno di bassetto, to the extreme right of the print, is the alto clarinet, a fifth lower in pitch than the clarinet in C. It is said to have been invented at Passau in Bavaria in 1770, but the name of the inventor is not recorded . It was improved by Lotz of Presburg in 1782, and again by Iwan Müller in 1812. Mozart wrote two parts for basset horns in his famous Requiem. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
