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.
