Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was a distinguished performer on the Flute. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that his compositions for wind instruments are at the forefront of the repertoire, Symphonic Piece for Tenor Trombone being no exception. After a prominent career as a flautist with the Paris Opera, Gaubert was appointed as professor of Flute at the Paris Conservatoire, as well as principal conductor of leading orchestras. It was during this time that Gaubert composed, including his Symphonic Piece for Tenor Trombone and Piano. Addressing many technical features, including flourishing semiquaver passages, a wide range, lyrical melodies, unusual intervals, chromaticism and complex rhythms, Symphonic Piece is a challenging, yet riveting and stirring piece for aspiring advanced Tenor Trombone players..

Moreover, the Habanera rhythms throughout the piece create a dynamic and exciting effect. All of these musical elements combined create a highly enjoyable piece for the alto saxophone repertoire. In addition, the clear print of separate saxophone and piano parts in this edition add to an irresistable purchase for budding saxophonists.

“To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His Brief Piece for solo Saxophone is no exception to the composer's success. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bozza won prizes for Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. Composed in 1955, Bozza's Brief Piece is to be played on the Alto Saxophone and is a virtuosic work, addressing advanced features including, complex rhythms, chromaticism, a wide range and articulation. As music educationalist, Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza's compositions, ”“his works reveal melodic fluency, elegance of structure and a consistently sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.”“”.
