Although many outstanding composers have written for the saxophone, its comparatively late invention leaves a great void in its literature - namely that of pre-20th Century music. If the saxophonist wishes to perform this music, he must turn to transcriptions, and that is what we find in this volume. Selected and edited by Larry Teal, always with the qualities and limitations of the instrument in mind, these pieces for Alto Saxophone with Piano accompaniment, range in era and style from Haydn to Granados. Selected for the ABRSM Alto and Baritone examinations grades 6 and 7.

A wedding without a famous wedding march - unimaginable! Wagner's 'Bridal Chorus' from 'Lohengrin' and Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March' from the incidental music of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' vie for the favour of bridal couples and wedding parties. If, however, the music shall be festive, Mendelssohn's background music for the wedding ceremony remains first choice. In order that the march cannot only be performed with the organ but also with a melodic instrument with piano (or organ) accompaniment, the present editions provide easy-to-play arrangements.

With this three-movement sonatina, the Orff student Hermann Regner contributes again his share to modern teaching and competition literature. In three movements (Allegro, Larghetto, Animato), this sonatina for alto saxophone and piano provides a cheerful and varied music that leaves enough creative scope. The moderately difficult piano part allows for the accompaniment by a pupil or student. Thus, the sonatina is also perfectly suited for recital evenings.

“Suite, consisting of six short pieces for alto saxophone and piano, is a virtuoso work for this duo. I composed my Suite in 2014 in commission of the legendary saxophone virtuoso Mr. Sugawa with whom I played the world premiere in Tokyo in 2014. The pieces are very much inspired by Turkish music, rhythms, dances, folklore ... and composed in modal and sometimes atonal character.†–Fazil Say.

Mit einem Paukenschlag wurde die Musikwelt auf Erik Satie (1866-1925) aufmerksam: Als am 18. Mai 1817 sein Ballett 'Parade' uraufgefuhrt wurde, kam es zum Skandal. Die Produktion, an der auch Sergei Djagilew mit seinen 'Ballets Russes', Pablo Picasso (Buhnenbild und Kostume), Jean Cocteau (Handlung) sowie Leonide Massine (Choreographie) beteiligt waren, entzweite die Pariser Musikwelt, machte den Komponisten aber weithin bekannt. Satie, der kaum eine fundierte musikalische Ausbildung genossen hatte und fast zeit seines Lebens in Paris lebte, entwickelte einen neuen musikalischen Stil, in bewusster Abkehr vom 'Wagnerisme' seiner Zeit. Klassische Formmodelle, neue Harmonik, Leichtigkeit im Stil, Meditatives und Clowneskes verschmolzen originell. Zum Musterbeispiel dafur sind seine '3 Gymnopedies' von 1888 geworden, deren erste hier fur ein Soloinstrument mit Klavierbegleitung arrangiert wurde: Das Musizieren dieser beruhmtesten Miniatur von Satie wird damit auch Nicht-Pianisten ermoglichst - die einfache Spielbarkeit erlaubt den Einsatz auch fur padagogische Zwecke.

Szelenyi (1904-1972) studied with Kodaly and later taught at the Academy of Music and the Conservatory in Budapest. He chiefly wrote chamber music and material for his students. Simple, chordal streams in the piano accompany a rhapsodic, improvisatory saxophone part, strongly influenced by Eastern European folk music.
