Three Dance
Preludes is one of an
impressive list of
commissions by master
saxophonist John Sampen,
who premiered the piece
at the 1982 World
Saxophone Congress with
pianist Marilyn Shrude.
The three preludes pay
homage to jazz greats
Charlie Parker, Lee
Konitz, and Jimmy Dorsey,
and are to be performed
with a sound style that
emulates each. Hodkinson
also points out that the
piano is neither
accompanimental nor
secondary in any sense,
but a full partner in the
duet. For advanced
performers. Duration:
13'.
