The Fancy Mix - from Baroque to World Music project aims to widen the repertoire specifically composed for saxophone beginners by also extending it to folk music and non-Western styles. The authors, both professors at music conservatories, have combined their respective experiences as composers and performers of classical, jazz and contemporary music in order to create 14 short original compositions for alto sax and piano accompaniment. These pieces are grouped in two volumes and ordered according to their degree of difficulty: the easiest and easy pieces for beginners on academic courses and at secondary schools as well as for amateurs (Vol.1); medium difficulty pieces for pupils on higher courses (Vol.2). Each piece, focused on one or more specific aspects of the instrumental technique, combines the gradually mastering of these together with an in-depth look at the musical interpretation, introducing the student to the practice of improvisation (Vol.2). Each of them is preceded by some performance notes and preparatory exercises focused on specific technical aspects.

This volume is intended as a folio of arrangements from the repertoire of a working musician. As such, there is only a minimum of discussion about the technical aspects of playing. Students who have already dealt with the American style called fingerpicking or fingerstyle guitar, which is quite distinct from other kinds of guitar playing, will be at an advantage. The easiest arrangements here are early intermediate level, while the other end of the scale includes pieces that may challenge even a professional. Tunes within each section are presented generally in order of difficulty. The bulk of the tunes presented are fiddle tunes, with a couple of banjo tunes and several songs as well as tunes originally played on other instruments such as harp, pipes, or accordion. There are even a small number composed for the guitar. For the most part, differences in approach among the tunes here are unrelated to the instrumental sources. All the tunes are presented in notation and tablature. Includes access to online audio.
