To this day Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments despite being a violinist himself. His Parade Des Petits Soldats for Alto Saxophone and Piano is no exception to the composer's success. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire Bozza won prizes for Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes whilst remaining a prominent composer. Composed in 1964 Bozza's Parade Des PetitsSoldats for Alto Saxophone and Piano is a delightful work for beginner to intermediate saxophonists addressing a variety of features. As music educationalist Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza's compositions 'his works reveal melodic fluency elegance of structure and a consistenly sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.'

Raymond Gallois Montbrun (1918-1994) published his 6 Musical Study Pieces for Alto Saxophone and Piano in 1954 just ten years after he won the Grand Prix de Rome.

These are; 1) Ballade (flexibility) 2) Intermezzo (trills) 3) Rondo (staccato) 4) Lied (sonority) 5) Waltz (chromaticism) and 6) Finale (velocity). Assuitable and varied pieces for the progression of intermediate to advanced level saxophonists Gallois Montbrun's 6 Musical Study Pieces cannot be missed.
