....writes a reed part with a two bar switch from baritone sax to bassoon, followed five bars later by a switch back to bassoon? I'm dealing with this in god-awful Seussical right now, and I am not happy with how it comes out.
Dealing with a bassoon part in a show is bad enough when it's not doubled with flute and clarinet and baritone - throw all of the changes in and you have a potential disaster in the making.
The show is apparently "through sung", and there are a number of spots where there is a prominent bassoon solo shortly after honking along on the baritone for hundreds of bars,. Putting exposed parts at the start of a change like that is just asking for things to go wrong.
