The title Perfection Studies refers to the pursuit of playing the saxophone perfectly. Therefore, this book is meant for saxophonists who have already reached a fairly advanced standard. The pieces have been written especially for this book by top composers from all over the world including Jan Van der Roost, Jacob de Haan, Martin Ellerby and Otto M. Schwarz. Nearly all aspects of saxophone playing are addressed, including melodic interpretation, tone quality, dynamics and vibrato. The rich range of colours and the melodic character of the studies also make them very suitable for playing at exams or recitals. A demo CD is included with performances byNobuya Sugawa to give you an idea of how the studies should be played.

Die Perfection Studies richten sich, wie der Titel schon andeutet, an fortgeschrittene Saxophonisten, die ihr Spiel perfektionieren wollen. Nobuya Sugawa, der die Stücke von einer internationalen Riege moderner Blasmusikkomponisten, darunter Jan Van der Roost, Jacob de Haan, Ferrer Ferran, Otto M. Schwarz u. a. auswählte und auf der CD präsentiert, achtete darauf, dass kein Aspekt des Saxophonspiels, wie melodisches Spiel, Klang, Dynamik und Vibrato zu kurz kommt. Der Reichtum an Klangfarben und der melodische Charakter machen diese Etüden zudem zu ausgezeichneten Vortrags- und Wertungsstücken.

Saxophone study material that is aimed at musical expression and sound, instead of virtuosity is always in short supply. Most existing study books offer too little opportunity to apply the learned technique for its actual purpose - making music. These New Concert Studies meet the demand for teaching the art of making music. The book contains fifteen studies that put emphasis on interpretation and performance. The pieces have been written by a number of leading composers and their various approaches make practising these studies a good way to widen your musical horizons. The books comes with a demo CD featuring Nobuya Sugawa showing exactly how it should be done.

Der Schwerpunkt dieser Etüden liegt nicht auf Virtuosität, sondern auf dem eigentlichen Zweck des Musizierens: musikalischem Ausdruck und Klang. Alle fünfzehn in diesem Bandversammelten Etüden stammen aus der Feder von ausgezeichneten Komponisten und erweitern in ihrer Vielfalt den musikalischen Horizont des Saxophonisten. Die beiliegende CD wurde vom japanischen Saxophonvirtuosen Nobuya Sugawa eingespielt.

French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published his Corsican Song for alto saxophone and piano in 1932. As with his other wind compositions, Corsican Song was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his father and mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his grandmother in to his compositions, as is the case with Corsican Song. This Tomasi work is unusual in composition through its exploitation of tonality, rhythm and structure amongst other aspects. However, this Tomasi piece, suitable for advanced saxophonists, provides an exciting, alternative addition to the repertoire.
