The bassoon was first used in an orchestra during the early 18th century. It was prominently featured in works by composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. The instrument became more established in orchestral settings by the time of the Classical period, particularly in the compositions of Mozart and Haydn. Its unique timbre contributed significantly to the development of orchestral music.
