Description
Die Stücke in diesem Band, von denen einige besonders bedeutsam sind, sind äußerst ansprechend und gleichzeitig auch einfach. Es sind keine typischen Unterrichtsstücke - die meisten waren durchaus erfolgreich, bevor sie, auf Grund ihrer individuellen, rein musikalischen Stärken in diesem Band aufgenommen wurden. Es handelt sich dabei jedoch nicht nur um eine Sammlung aufführbarer Stücke, sondern um solche, die dem Spieler auf Grund ihrer Stufungen und vielseitigen Anforderungen die Möglichkeit zum Konsolidieren und Ausfeilen ihrer Fähigkeit geben. Auch stilmäßig sind sie von besonderer Vielseitigkeit. Sie sollen nicht nur eine Quelle der Freude, sondern auch ein Wegweißer zu neuen, bisher unerforschten Pfaden sein werden.
The music in this book is appealing, sometimes truly great music which just happens to be simple. None of the pieces is merely 'educational' - almost al of them had successful lives of their own before they found their way here - and they have all been chosen for their individual, purely musical strengths. However, the book is more than just a collection of performable pieces; the pieces in it are roughly graded and very varied in their demands, so that any player who works through them will have the chance to consolidate and polish their technique. They are also more than usually varied in style. They will give some unexpected pleasure and signpost some interesting and enjoyable pathways that might otherwise have remained unexplored.
Instrumentation:
Alto Saxophone and Piano
