Unparalleled in scope, this groundbreaking series for E_Alto and B_Tenor offers a single collection of Repertoire and supporting materials written or arranged specifically for saxophone. With Repertoire spanning from the Baroque to contemporary eras, Recordings, Etudes, Technique, and Orchestral Excerpts, this comprehensive series serves as a balanced and organized pedagogical resource from the beginner to advanced levels of study. Nine progressive volumes of Repertoire expose students to original works and arrangements of diverse styles from W.A. Mozart to Violet Archer, with selected works by notable jazz artist Paul Desmon (Take Five), and living composer Phil Woods. Each level provides opportunities to explore Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary works, with original, unaccompanied selections from Levels 5 through 8 that use extended techniques such as multiphonics, key clicks, and bisbigliando. Earlier works pre-dating the origin of the saxophone have been carefully arranged with consideration of the unique quality of the instrument. Exposure to these works help to develop musicianship and an understanding of tonality, creating well-rounded and versatile performers. Selections written for both E_Alto and B_Tenor include piano accompaniments that function with both instruments.

Composer Martin Amlin is also an outstanding pianist, and his pianistic writing shows idiomatic flair and flash honed into remarkable form and expression. PIANO SONATA NO. 6 has no barlines or movement divisions. Opening with the tempo marking “Bold,” the sonata wears its formal mantle as hard as granite, yet interwoven with tenderness, and with expressive lyricism in relief to an unmetered flow not unlike what Ives described as “prose” within his own musical poetry. [ADDITION] Andrew Willis has recorded this powerful sonata for Albany Records, on a CD that also includes the works listed below.
