Concertino Da Camera written in 1935 by Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) was a small concerto for alto-saxophone and eleven instruments: Flute Bassoon Oboe Horn Trumpet and Strings. This score is for Alto Saxophone and Piano. This Concertino is in two movements Allegro con moto and Larghetto – Animato Molto is dedicated to the saxophonist Sigurd Rascher and is standing out for its large use of the Alto-Saxophone. It can be technically challenging and has a strong lyrical part. Its author Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) is a neoclassical composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1919. He composed manysymphonic suites operas and seven orchestras including Angelique (1926) and Divertissement (1930). He was also in charge of the Accadémie de France in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and was later administrator for the Paris Opera. This concerto has some similarities with his Flute Concerto (1934) also published by Alphonse Leduc.

12 Easy Zoological Pieces. Par RAE JAMES. In 'Zoo Time!? for alto saxophone and piano, James Rae has imagined how our friends in the zoo might perform on the dance floor! This has inspired some delightful pieces such as 'Tiger Tango?, 'Rhino Rumba?, 'Cobra Calypso? and many more. But it's not just fun for pupil and teacher alike - musical styles are explored even at this early (Grade 1) stage and the student will be inspired to try and interpret the music to portray the animals as vividly as possible. Attractive, teacher-friendly piano accompaniments are provided, which include chord symbols for further musical possibilities. 'Zoo Time!? follows on naturally from James Rae's 'Child's Play? (UE21699) where all the beginners' notes are introduced one at a time, just as in a standard tutor book./ Recueil / Saxophone Alto et Piano

Arrangeur :Gaetano Di BaccoTout le monde connaît l'immense qualité pédagogique des 48 études de Franz Wilhelm Ferling, tant elles font aujourd'hui partie des cursus de saxophone dans le monde entier. Composées à l'origine pour hautbois en 1831, adaptées au saxophone et utilisées en 1942 par Marcel Mule, elles sont devenues un pilier de la didactique de l'instrument.Lorsque je faisais travailler ces études dans ma classe du conservatoire, le souci n'était pas seulement de résoudrela difficulté technique d'exécution mais aussi de donner à l'élève une vision musicale complète. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai ressenti la nécessité de créer une partie de piano afin de mieux faire comprendre l'aspect harmonique et formel de ces oeuvres, et aussi de faire de ces études de véritables pièces de concert. Je me suis efforcé de respecter le style ' bel canto ' d'auteurs comme Bellini, Donizetti et Rossini. Par ailleurs, je me suisvolontairement abstenu de tout mouvement métronomique, escomptant que le caractère de l'accompagnementpianistique suggérerait la vitesse de chaque étude.Je dédie ces études à Claude Delangle que je remercie tout particulièrement pour m'avoir encouragé à poursuivrecette entreprise certes passionnante mais de longue haleine.Je ne peux m'empêcher de penser à Charles Gounod qui, il y a 135 ans, créa le sublime Ave Maria en superposant sa mélodie sur le Prélude #1 du premier livre du Clavier bien tempéré de Jean-Sébastien Bach. Dans le cas présent, un Allemand a composé ces mélodies sur lesquelles, 180 ans plus tard, un Italien composel'harmonisation pour piano qu'un éditeur français décide de publier.

French composer Robert Planel (1908-1994) was the son of composer and founder of the Music School of Montelimar Alphonse Planel. Robert Planel was an exceptionally accomplished musician reflected in his composition Prelude and Saltarelle for Alto Saxophone and Piano. It is hard to fathom why Prelude and Saltarello has somewhat disappeared from the repertoire. With a typical performance lasting about seven minutes Planel's pieces is made up of two movements. The Prelude begins calm and while tonality is exploited and significantly complex flourishes are heard therelationship between the Saxophone and Piano remains exquisite. The movement then climaxes into the 6/8 Saltarello. Planel's Prelude and Saltarello is an exciting addition to the modern repertoire of the Saxophone and cannot be missed by aspiring saxophonists.
