Composed by J.S. Bach originally for flute and piano, this edition of 6th Sonata was arranged for alto saxophone in E flat and piano by Marcel Mule. Its difficulty would fit the skills and abilities of intermediate players. In terms of composition, this piece was created in four different sections: Adagio ma non tanto, Allegro, Siciliano and Allegro.Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is one of the greatest French saxophonists, renowned worldwide for his work on the classical saxophone repertoire. He was teaching his students how to obtain a good quality of sound and believed it was dependent on the embouchure, the emission, the mastery of vibrato and thus of breathing. He wrote different methods that focus on technique, articulation and tone productions such as Scale and Arpeggios (in three books), Daily Exercises After Terschack or 30 Great Exercises or Studies After Soussmann (in two books), among others.

French composer, Robert Planel (1908-1994) was the son of composer and founder of the Music School of Montelimar, Alphonse Planel. Planel junior was an exceptionally accomplished musician, which is reflected in his composition, Romantic Suite for alto saxophone and piano. The sixth movement of Romantic Suite, Song of the Muleteer is a charming piece for intermediate level saxophonists. With a typical performance lasting about three and a half minutes, Planel's Song of the Muleteer addresses a wide range, dotted rhythms, articulation, dynamics, tempo changes, key changes and variety in performance directions. Planel's Romantic Suite is an exciting addition to the modern repertoire of the saxophone and cannot be missed by aspiring saxophonists.

With his piano cycle Pictures at an Exhibition from 1874, Mussorgsky created a classic example of programme music. Based on the paintings of his deceased friend Viktor Hartmann, he also composed the lyrical serenade 'Il vecchio castello' (The Old Castle), among others. Hartmann's picture shows a medieval Italian castle with a singing troubadour who accompanies himself on the lute. In Maurice Ravel's subsequent famous orchestral version, the beautiful, melancholy melody was played by the alto saxophone. Accompaniment, prelude and interludes are reminiscent of playing a medieval hurdy-gurdy with its pervading drone bass. Therein lies the continuity of the piece, thereabove lies the quiet romance with its melancholy character - the unrequited love of the troubadour. This separate edition now gives all saxophonists the opportunity to play the piece with piano accompaniment.

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.
