The authors, both professors at music conservatories, have combined their respective experiences as composers and performers of classical, jazz and contemporary music in order to create 14 short original compositions for alto sax and piano accompaniment. These pieces are grouped in two volumes and ordered according to their degree of difficulty: the easiest and easy pieces for beginners on academic courses and at secondary schools as well as for amateurs (Vol.1); medium difficulty pieces for pupils on higher courses (Vol.2).

Each of them is preceded by some performance notes and preparatory exercises focused on specific technical aspects.
