The 3 quartets by Josef Fiala (1748 – 1816) appeared
in original for bassoon, violin, viola and cello in the
‘Editio Supraphon Praha’in the series ‘Musica
Viva Historica’(No. 53). In order to make accessible
these beautiful and melodious quartets also to basset
horn players, the bassoon parts were arranged for
basset horn. The string parts of the original can be
used without change.
