The results are increasingly catastrophic, until the sorcerer returns and rescues the situation. Dukas’s score was catapulted into popularity by its inclusion in Walt Disney’s 1940 film Fantasia. Bassoons feature prominently in the orchestra, and it is highly fitting that the music should be presented here on four bassoons. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrading: \u003c\/strong\u003e7 to 9\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 4'53\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Dukas, P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArranger: \u003c\/strong\u003eJones, F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bassoon Quartet: 4 Bsns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListen to a sample:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"player\"\u003e\u003caudio controls=\"controls\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0229\/0902\/6384\/files\/WBD007_clip.mp3?v=1779962799\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wonderful Winds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46978204237999,"sku":"FJ","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0229\/0902\/6384\/files\/WBD007.jpg?v=1779962606","url":"https:\/\/www.wonderfulwinds.com\/products\/wbd007-the-sorcerers-apprentice-dukas-paul","provider":"Wonderful Winds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
