Canzonetta Op. 19 is a piece for Alto Saxophone and Piano accompaniment composed by Gabriel Pierné and arranged by Marcel Mule. Initially written for Clarinet and Piano the piece was written in 1888 and can be played by advanced players with a fairly high difficulty level. Composed in a single movement the piece features some different sections linked together. It starts with dotted rhythms that are slightly reminiscent of a siciliano and is followed by a part that sounds like a Scherzando. The dotted rhythms disappear in the Piu Vivo section but the opening theme soon comes back before a grandiose finale.Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) was a French composer conductor and Organ player. He won the French Prix de Rome 1882.

Pour Alto Saxophone et Piano-Born to an Italian father and a French mother Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) divided his music studies between the Academia Santa Cecilia in Rome and the Conservatoire de Paris where he was taught by Henri Büsser and Henri Rabaud. His chamber music compositions reveal a marked predilection for wind instruments as reflected in Fantaisie pastorale for oboe and piano (1939) and New-Orléans for bass saxhorn and piano (1944). During his stay a few years earlier at the Villa Medici in Rome (1936) Bozza had written his Aria Pour Saxophone Alto Et Piano – a free adaptation of the third movement of JohannSebastian Bach’s Organ Pastorale in F major BWV 590. This expansive and nostalgic melody which unfolds over a regular meter has become one of the most widely played Saxo­phone pieces in the world. Having enjoyed such success Éditions Leduc has decided to supplement its republication with an audio version that will enable saxo­phonists to carry out “full-scale” practice.

L'Art de Dominique Lemaître est insaisissable. Peut-être y trouvera-t-on la volonté de se placer en dehors de tout formalisme, de créer un univers poétique s'adressant autant à la part de la conscience subjective de l'auditeur qu'à l'objective. D'où le goût des couleurs, des enchaînements de timbres différents sur une même note, de l'ambiguïté, du raffinement harmonique et sonore... De la Nuit est pleinement conforme à ce mode de pensée - dès le début de la pièce, le saxophone lui donne cette couleur nocturne et méditative, le piano ouvrant de son côté l'espace sonore. L'agrandissement de l'ambitus des intervalles joués par le piano sera prolongé par les tenues du saxophone, lesquelles continueront, en quelque sorte, le prolongement 'organique' du son. De ces résonances naîtront les mélismes entremêlés des deux instruments, avant que la musique n'effectue un retour sur elle-même dans un climat plus calme, et ne s'évanouisse définitivement.Marc Sieffert / Saxophone Alto Et Piano
