The tempo marking is denoted as moderato, a relaxed pace in which the mood is raised. A member of the saxophone family, the alto saxophone is designated as a woodwind musical instrument. It was invented by the Belgian Adolphe Sax in 1841. It is smaller than the tenor, and larger than the soprano. It is the type of saxophone most used in classical compositions. Alto saxophones are transposing instruments and the alto is tuned in the key of Eb. Thus when a C-natural note is played on the alto sax, it sounds a major 6th (Eb) lower. The alto sax is a reed instrument and hence is classified as a wind instrument. Source / Web : | meastros-of-the-guitar | | |||||
