Easy Concert Pieces for Alto Saxophone, Vol 1

Includes Online Audio

From the Publisher

The Easy Concert Pieces series for alto saxophone and piano provides easy to intermediate pieces from the Renaissance to the modern era for music lessons, concert performances or private music-making. The volumes with accompanying audio recording add to the not very extensive repertoire of performance pieces for saxophone. They were carefully selected according to technical and musical requirements and are arranged in three volumes according to their level of difficulty.

All pieces are included in the accompanying mp3 pack as demo and play-along versions (piano accompaniment). The piano part contained in the volume is very easy so that it can even be played by a pupil, e.g. at a music school concert.

Volume 1 (ED 22553) contains easy pieces which mainly range from d‘ to c‘‘‘, occasionally even to d‘‘‘. The keys range from C to D major or the respective minor keys. This volume contains works by Charpentier, Vivaldi, Handel, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Smetana, Pütz, Moser, and others.

Volume 2 (ED 22554) contains intermediate pieces ranging from c‘ to e‘‘‘, with unusual metres and demisemiquavers appearing occasionally. Including works by Wolkenstein, Peuerl, Schein, Purcell, Telemann, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Gounod, Humperdinck, Elgar, and others.

Volume 3 (ED 22942) – in preparation: Will contain pieces at even higher levels of difficulty and add further works to the repertoire.
