fur 2 Saxophone aus 44 Duos fur Violinen. Par BARTOK BELA. Gives the aspiring saxophonists practice in the kind of musical partnership required by chamber music Béla Bartók (1881-1945) composed his 44 Duos for Two Violins in 1931. These unique musical miniatures combine folk melodies from Eastern Europe with the musical language of the twentieth century in an exciting blend of tradition and modernity. For the present sheet music twenty of these duos for saxophones (of the same pitch) were arranged. The pieces allow players to share the pleasure of chamber music while exploring this fascinating sound world. On alto saxophones, most of the duets sound in the original keys (Nos. 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 16, 17). For the other duets Marcin Langer selected a key based on the sound of the piece and its suitability for the saxophone. • These unique musical miniatures combine folk melodies from Eastern Europe with the musical language of the twentieth century/ Répertoire / 2 Saxophones

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
