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, Putz, Moser, and others.

All the pieces in this book have been selected from the Méthode Complète by H. Klosé. Practically every saxophonist with a classical education comes across these pieces during his or her studies. Over the years, their value has been proven from a musical as well as a technical perspective. However, this music never had a piano accompaniment - which is of vital importance for musical development and for concert performances. In this new edition a piano part has been written by the well-known composer Roland Kernen. On the CD you will hear a performance of the complete piece followed by a play-along piano accompaniment for use if you do not have a pianist to accompany you.Alle in diesem Buch versammelten Stücke stammen aus der bekanntesten klassischen Saxophonschule aller Zeiten: die Méthode Complète von H. Klosé. Es gab jedoch nie eine Klavierbegleitung zu dieser Musik - und gerade diese ist für die musikalische Entwicklung von großer Bedeutung. Roland Kernen hat nun fantastische Klavierstimmen zu dieser Musik geschrieben. Auf der CD werden die Stücke zunächst von Nobuya Sugawa vorgespielt, dann folgt die auf einem Flügel gespielte Klavierbegleitung.

Dance of Uzume is a concertino that is based on a Japanese myth: out of anger toward her brother Susanowa, the storm god, the sun goddess Amaterasu hides in a cave. The goddess of joy, Uzume, succeeds in luring the sun goddess out of the cave by dancing wildly. The joy and laughter of the other gods as they watch Uzume arouses Amaterasu's curiosity and with her appearance, the light on earth returns. This fantastic new original work will make a much needed addition to the advanced repertoire for saxophone and concert band. A version for saxophone and piano is also available.Piet Swerts componeerde Dance of Uzume op verzoek van de Japanse topsaxofonist Nobuya Sugawa.

De vreugdegodin Uzume weet de godin van de zon echter met een wilde dans uit de grot te lokken.

A concert version of the dance music from the second act of the sensational opera for voices and wind ensemble by Daron Aric Hagen (see Overture above), this varied and colorful piece will be a brilliant addition to the program of a Grade Four band. The music dramatically reflects the growing conflicts of the story (based on Othello) and climaxes with a powerful setting of the big tune associated with the idea of crossing over from Mexico to the U.S., and from Life to Death. This piece is a major addition to the serious band repertoire and has been added to the Texas UIL Prescribed Music List. Duration: 7'.
