One excellent example of its exquisite melan- choly is found in the tender melody that begins the slow movement of Dvorak's American Sym- phony. This is but one of many in modern scores, for the tone-colour of the instrument is almost indispensable to-day. AXTONIN DVORAK. OBOE, ENGLISH HORN, AND BASSOONS 1 69 The bassoon is probably an instrument of great antiquity, although there exists evidence of its discovery in 1540 by Afranio, a canon of Ferrara. The name bassoon, at first sight, would ap...pear to indicate an instrument taking the bass part, just as the word tenoroon was used to des- ignate an old tenor oboe. But the Arabians had the term Besuin^ while the Egyptian word for deep-toned pipe is Zummarah-bi-soan, The man- ner in which the term Busaine, or Buisine, is used in mediaeval manuscripts, indicates an Oriental origin for the instrument. The Italian name for it, fagotto, comes from its fancied resemblance to a fagot, or bundle of sticks. It is probable that some instrument of this type existed among the auloi and tibia of the ancient world.
