Born in 1948, Claude-Henry Joubert studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won many prizes. His career has led him to become Director of the Orleans Conservatory, as well as teaching at other institutions. His compositional output is also substantial, with Miss Poppy being a delightful addition to the Saxophone repertoire. The preface of Miss Poppy, written by Michel Meriot, states that the piece fills a vital gap as an necessary exam and audition work for many schools and other institutions. Adaptable to Alto, Tenor or Soprano Saxophones, Miss Poppy is suitable to grade two standard saxophonists. With a typical performance lasting about 2 minutes and 15 seconds, Joubert's work contains many appealing musical features. For all aspiring saxophonists, Miss Poppy is a sublime addition to the repertoire..

As a lesson and lecture piece, Bertold Hummel's Sonatine op. 35, created in 1969, accompanied many young musicians on their way. Sold a thousand times all over the world, it is one of the composer's best-known works and has been included in the repertoire list for the 'Jugend musiziert' competition by the German Music Council. Warmth and sparkling rhythm characterize the three movements: inthe powerful maestoso, the sonority of the main theme is contrasted with a lyrical side theme; the recapitulation ends with an impulsive fugato. The second movement Elegie consists of a single soulful melody about spherical harmonies of the piano. As the highlight in the Finale vivace, playful lightness, marching rhythms and dramatic increases replace each other in quick succession; wild arpeggios lead to the end. Originally composed for violin, versions for viola and cello were already familiar. For the 50th birthday, Simrock / Boosey & Hawkespresents the work in a revised, revised edition. A repertoire enrichment for beginning instrumentalists are the first available versions for alto and tenor saxophone, which the composer made himself in the 1990s.
