Quartet for Saxophones is a piece for four saxophones composed by Alfred Desenclos in 1964, which lasts around 15 minutes and 30 seconds. Initially written for the Marcel Mule Quartet, Quartet for Saxophones is a typical French quartet, quite smooth and suave. The beginning of the piece that sets up the Soprano Saxophone against the others is quite jazzy but then it continues on to a more lyrical part, quite slow, with a simple melody. The tension is gradually built up and the finale unison is introduced quite dramatically, with some bursts of energy. This Quartet for Saxophones would fit a Quartet of advanced to professional players. Alfred Desenclos (1912-1961) is a French Composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1942. He also composed masses such as 'Messe de Requiem' and other pieces for Double Bass, Harp, Flute, Trumpet or French Horn.

âConsidered by Gramophone magazine as 'one of the most astounding players of the day', saxophonist Theodore Kerkezos divides his time between a brilliant soloist career and educational activities that include teaching at the Athens Conservatoire and providing master classes around the globe. Drawing on his long experience, the Greek musician is publishing his Ãtudes for high and low notes on the Saxophone to help students overcome one of the major learning difficulties: mastering the upper registers. Organised according to a step-by-step plan, the Ãtudes provide a variety of learning options in terms of melodics, rhythm and dynamics, some of which offer a valuable bonus: the choice between several fingerings. The problem of different attacks, often related to repertoire type, is given particular attention. Recommended by masters like Jean-Marie Londeix and Christian Lauba, this 'extraordinary' collection will delight saxophonists who dream of achieving precise intonation and roundness of tone in both the high and low ranges.andrdquo.
