Born in Tunisia in 1952, Christian Lauba has been a prominent contemporary composer, winning many prizes since his graduation from the Conservatory of Bordeaux during the mid-1980s. Lauba is particularly noted for his compositions and teaching guides for the Saxophone, such as Nine Studies for Saxophones. Composed betweem 1992 and 1994, Nine Studies for Saxophones won Lauba the SACEM prize in composition. The second volume, for Soprano and Tenor Saxophones contains the fifth, sixth and seventh studies; 1) Tadj, 2) Gyn, and 3) Vir. Nine Studies for Saxophones is very modern in style, exploiting extended techniques of the Saxophone to the maximum. These include articulation, modes, complex rhythms, ornamentation, tonality, harmonics, vibrato, resonance and flutter tonguing, among other aspects. With modern classical music becoming more and more prominent within the genre, Lauba's Nine Studies for Saxophones is essential to all saxophonists..

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.

Thirty great exercises or studies after Soussmann - Book 2 is the second and final volume of this series, written by Marcel Mule. Inspired by Soussmann's exercise book and adapted to saxophone, these studies for intermediate players are divided with 15 studies in the first book and 15 in the second one. Written in G key with up to 7 sharps per exercise, these studies will develop the technical skills and the sonority of the saxophonist. With breathing indications, it will help the players to gain in endurance too. Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is one of the greatest French saxophonists, renowned worldwide for his work on the classical saxophone repertoire. He was teaching his students how to obtain a good quality of sound and believed it was dependent on embouchure, the emission, the mastery of vibrato and thus, of breathing. He wrote different methods that focus on technique, articulation and tone productions such as Eighteen Exercises or Studies or Daily Exercises Aafter Terschack among others.
