Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók himself collected the material for 'Rumanian Dances' in Transylvania at the beginning of the century; Transylvania is the place in which this folk-dance music is part of everyday life. Bartók considered this music so very valuable that it became his new source of renewal of the musical mother tongue.
This edition includes the 'Romanian Folk Dances' for alto saxophone and piano.
Style and atmosphere have been captured in these six colourful duets for players of intermediate to more advanced levels
These dances with such diverse melodies, rhythms and origins make sophisticated and entertaining concert pieces/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto et Piano

Par SCHWARTZ JAY . From the composer: I composed Music for Saxophone and Piano for Harry Kinrose White in 1992. It is an early attempt in my work at magnifying the barriers between sound and silence, exploring the extreme ranges of pianissimo sounds in the saxophone that seem to appear without recognizable transition out of nothing. Glissandi, sliding tones, have always fascinated me, and in this piece I applied for the first time my ideas about pitch slides in a composition. These two qualities - the absence of a recognizable boundary between soft and inaudible sound, and the absence of a stationary pitch by employing glissandi - were soon to become something of a basis of my compositional aesthetic for many years. It was in Music for Saxophone and Piano that these ideas seem to have first germinated. The architecture of this piece employs a simple binary form, but the halves are stylistically diametrically opposed, creating a dialectical pair, the serene and elegiac character of the second half being born out of the high point and cathartic event of the first half. In this architectural formula new and unexpected material is catalyzed by the long arch of the opening material reaching a breaking point. For advanced players./ Recueil / Saxophone Alto et Piano
