Since its first performance in 1934 it has become part of the standard saxophone repertoire. The sole surviving autograph manuscript is the hand-written dedication score given by Glazunov to Sigurd Raschèr. This score contains the original version of the work without the alterations which were made in the proofs to the orchestral score as well as the full version of the composer's cadenza which was later shortened. The autograph manuscript also contains some performance markings by Raschèr. The correspondence between Raschèr and Glazunov documents the composer's thoughts on the work and his recommendations about the size of the accompanying string orchestra. Evidence from this correspondence has been integrated into this edition. This first scholarly-critical edition of a work by Glazunov contains an informative introduction on German and English with commentaries about the history of its composition, facsimiles and a critical commentary. The solo parts (urtext and parts prepared by Carina Raschèr) include both the complete and the shortened version of the cadenza as well as a cadenza by Raschèr. We can order the score ($29.95). Matching string parts should be available in January 2011 and will be about $6.00 for each part. |

This piece which was written for oboe in 1898 is one of the few by Paladilhe still performed today. In two sections: Andante, assai moderato and Allegro non troppo. Advanced high school or early college level and a good length (4:30) for a festival piece. When I listened to a performance of the original version on YouTube I thought it would sound good (better even) on saxophone. Himie Voxman must have thought the same thing.

/ S110: Vocalise Op. 34 No. 14 for Soprano or Tenor Saxophone and Piano by Sergei Rachmaninoff arranged by Ronald L. Caravan. Ethos Publications, SS. The genesis of this arrangement was preparation for a recording session where Dr. Caravan was to record this piece on soprano saxophone. His accompanist insisted he should try the piece in the original concert key (C sharp minor) instead of the available transcriptions which are a half step lower or higher. After trying it in this key they decided it was much more effective and this arrangement is the result. While E-flat minor (six flats) may seem like a difficult key, this piece moves slowly and it should not be a problem for any player at intermediate or above level.

S411: Renewing the Myth for alto saxophone and piano by Marilyn Shrude, saxophone part edited by John Sampen. Editions Henry Lemoine, 1998, SS, 18 + 7 pages. This piece was written for John Sampen in 1988 by Marilyn Shrude who is Distinguished Artist Professor of Music at Bowling Green State College.

Germinal motives from the Caprice are introduced in both the saxophone and piano and become increasingly complex in a mildly atonal framework. The cadenza incorporates not only the Paganini, but fragments of famous saxophone literature. As the piece unfolds, the increasing technical difficulty recalls the myth - that Paganini sold his soul for his virtuosity. It was a required work for the participants of the International Adolphe Sax Competition in 2002. |

S372: Souvenir: Toccata for Soprano Saxophone and Piano by Robert Walker. Maecenas, (written in) 1994, SS, 16 + 3 pages. The composer wrote: "Two friends, who happen also to be a saxophone and piano duo, were visiting me in my adopted home of Bali. . . I wrote them this, literally as a souvenir of their stay in Bali. It is a joyful piece, with no deeper meaning than to portray a little of the country, incorporating some Balinese rhythms and modes." It appears that most of the Balinese flavor is found in the piano part which has some tricky although frequently repeated rhythms.

The two major musical styles in my life have been jazz and classical music. In the past, out of necessity, I have had to keep them separated. This piece is an attempt on my part to integrate these styles. I do not consider this piece 'third stream' but something of itself. It should not played for its jazz elements, or for that matter, for its classical elements, but as something in between-- hence the title." An advanced piece with a duration of about 7 minutes. The piano part appears to be the more challenging of the two. |
