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 the 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 etudes', 'Daily exercises after Terschack' or '30 Great exercises and studies after Soussmann' (in two books), among others..

With this three-movement sonatina, the Orff student Hermann Regner contributes again his share to modern teaching and competition literature. In three movements (Allegro, Larghetto, Animato), this sonatina for alto saxophone and piano provides a cheerful and varied music that leaves enough creative scope. The moderately difficult piano part allows for the accompaniment by a pupil or student. Thus, the sonatina is also perfectly suited for recital evenings.
