The bassoon is a very versatile instrument. It is typically used to orchestral pieces and is the shining star in Fantasia. It also has key jobs in symphonic band music. It is slowly coming into the jazz world, especially by adventurous japanese composers. It is popular among chamber music. The bassoon also has many solos dedicated to it, such as Rhapsody for Bassoon by Wilson Osborne. So really the bassoon can play any song, and if you get into contrabassoon, you could probably attempt Dubstep! :D

How do you play loud on a bassoon?
Playing "loud" on the bassoon is all about air support, a good embouchure, and a good reed. You can't play loud if any of them are missing. Typically when bassoon players play loud they want to drop their jaw which causes them to go flat, especially on the low notes, so be sure not to do much change to your embouchure. Loud on the bassoon is mainly caused by air support. A good air stream with plenty of pressure and wind will cause you to play "loud" on the bassoon.
