Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók himself collected the material for 'Rumanian Dances' in Transylvania at the beginning of the century; Transylvania is the place in which this folk-dance music is part of everyday life. Bartók considered this music so very valuable that it became his new source of renewal of the musical mother tongue. This edition includes the 'Romanian Folk Dances' for alto saxophone and piano. • Style and atmosphere have been captured in these six colourful duets for players of intermediate to more advanced levels • These dances with such diverse melodies, rhythms and origins make sophisticated and entertaining concert pieces/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto et Piano

The famous Golliwogg's Cakewalk is the final piece from Debussy's cycle Children's Corner which consists of 6 miniatures for piano, written for his daughter in the years 1906-1908.The style corresponds to that of ragtime, a dance which was in vogue around the turn of the century. In the middle section, he parodies several times the beginning of the opera Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner with whom Debussy had a rather ambiguous relationship.The present arrangement now allows musicians to play the popular movement in a version for melodic instrument with accompaniment. / Saxophone Alto Et Piano
