Andante and Scherzo by Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) is a very enjoyable quartet for saxophones composed in 1938. Dedicated to the Paris quartet, this romantic piece is divided in two parts: it starts as a slow section, with a tenor solo followed by the chorus and it then jumps into an engaging quick staccato. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prizes for the Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas, chamber works and ballets among others.

Minimax was premiered in 1923 in the original version for string quartet at the Donaueschinger Musiktage and edited in 2014 by Christoph Enzel for saxophone quartet. The 6 parodies of military music perfectly match the saxophone, the wit and spirit of the compositions can be transferred without restriction. Some coarseness works almost better on the saxophone than in the original.

The subtitle 'For a young elephant' of 'Circus Polka' composed by Stravinsky is due to the piece's original use as music for a ballet performance with 50 elephants and the same number of ballerinas. The effective and inventive composition ranks among the modern classics of the 20th century and is presented here in arrangements for saxophone quartet or saxophone ensemble.

An adventurous and unusual work for Saxophone Quartet by John Harle. Composed fopr the Myrha Quartet, the piece was first performed on BBC Radio 3 in 1980. The music follows a pitch centre progression, moving gradually from low to high using chromatic clusters surrounding each pitch. Sporadic solo passages, differing in character to the rest of the piece, are used to punctuated the music with cadenza-like solos from each Saxophonist in turn, making this an exciting and challenging work for all players involved. This title is the score.

In 1989 when Louis Andriessen was teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Miles Davis Autobiography was published.While reading it, he suddenly knew what the subject of his piece for the Kronos Quartet should be - early be-bop licks and especially the work of Charlie Parker. He wanted to do the impossible - be-bop is not at all idiomatic for string instruments. But be-bop had been an important influence on his musical development when he was young, and he decided to do something with this music from his youth. Basically the essence of Charlie Parker's playing is the extremely fast tempo. This fast tempo is really fast, because the playing is based upon the chord structure of existing melodies which are sometimes played two or three times as fast as normal. Parker needed speed to express what he musically felt: little time was left for him. This is the main explanation of the title of the work.In the beginning of Facing Death, Andriessen literally quotes fragments of Charlie Parker improvisations. He also quotes one original melody: Ornithology (which is based on How High the Moon). The 7th and 8th bars of Ornithology become an important motif inthe piece. The whole composition is one long development in Parker's fast tempo. This work was composed in 1990 for string quartet and later arranged for saxophone quartet.

Ein kurzweiliges, kontrastreiches Opus, angeregt durch das Rascher-Quartett, dem es auch gewidmet ist; keine experimentelle, aber instrumentengerechte, neue Musik, auf die Spiel- und Ausdrucksmoglichkeiten sowie auf den spezifischen Klang eines technisch und musikalisch anspruchsvollen Saxophon-Ensembles bezogen (Sopran - Alt- Tenor - Bariton)Funf suitenformig locker aneinander gereihte Satze (Funf ,,Blatter) werden durch ein dodekaphonisches Leitmotiv verknupft, das zu Anfang eines jeden Satzes erklingt.Im Circulo ostinato bestimmt diese Figur entscheidend den Verlauf des Stuckes; zu Beginn des Finales verdichtet sie sich zum vierstimmigen Kanon. Ostinate und rhythmische Formeln pragen den Charakter des ganzen Werkes.Allegro ruzzone (Ubermut)Ein knappes lebhaftes Eingangsstuck; auf dem Hohepunkt erscheint, wie ein Atemholen, ein melodisch-ausdrucksvoller Gedanke, der sich imitatorisch im Kreise dreht, ehe eine kurze Stretta in schnellem Tempo zum Pianissimoschluss fuhrt.Circulo ostinato (Kreisende Wiederholung) (Andante con moto)Der Mittelteil des Satzes entwickelt sich aus gestauten Tonwiederholungen und den melodischen Flosklen des Urthemas in immer neuen Anlaufen zu grosser Steigerung. Am Anfang und Ende steht ein mehrstimmiger Kanon, der um eine abwarts gerichtete chromatische Tonfolge kreist.Ballo estatico (,,Entfesselter Tanz) (Allegro molto)In diesem Satz dominieren rhythmisch tanzerische und aggressive Elemente; drei verschiedene Episoden entfalten sich uber ostinaten Bassbewegungen, die letzte gerat zur ,,freien Variation uber Debussys (,,Golliwoggs cake walk aus den ,,Children's Corner).Sogno solitario (Einsamer Traum) (Andante)Der ,,langsame Satz des Quartetts wachst aus rezitativischem Beginn, uber einen ausdrucksvollen Mittelteil (mit engraumiger Melodik) bis zu einer ausgedehnten Trillerflache und dichten, abwarts sturzenden chromatischen Figuren (Quintolen), kehrt uber einen ruhigen Abschnitt (in tiefer Lage) zum Rezitativ zuruck, klingt verhalten aus.Fugato scherzando (Allegro molto)Ein virtuos humorvolles Finale, nach dem einleitenden vierstimmigen ,,Kreisel-Kanon des Leitmotivs entwickelt sich aus einem skurrilen Thema eine rhythmisch vertrackte Fuge, unterbrochen von einem trioahnlichen Intermezzo und wirkungsvoll turbulent zum befreienden Schluss gesteigert.(Jurg Baur)Bibliography:Gudelhofer, Matthias: Jurg Baur.
