Daily Exercises after Terschack for All Saxophones by Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is a set of twenty six exercises, each one lasting a page and a half. Initially composed by the flautist Adolph Terschak, these Daily Exercises After Terschack would fit the skills of advanced-intermediate and advanced players, with keys from 5 flats to 7 sharps. 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 18 Exercises or Studies, Varied Studies in All Keys or 30 Great Exercises or Studies After Soussmann (in two books), among others.

With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument.

James Pugh has written a short work of chamber music in one movement called Short Scherz, Quintet for Saxophone Quartet and Trombone. This music is appropriate for very advanced performers and is about 2 1/2 minutes in length. The work begins with a bouncy melody (A Theme) that works it's way up through the instruments, comes to a climax and continues on into a languid melodic section (B Theme) and works its way by adding speed and dynamics to the conclusion (A Theme repeated). This work was written for and first performed in 1989 by George Marge and the American Saxophone Quartet with Mr. Pugh.
