French composer Paul Dukas (1865-1935) is best known for his orchestral piece The Sorcerer's Apprentice. However his catalogue represents many other significant works by the composer including Alla Gitana for Alto Saxophone and Piano. Composed in 1909 Alla Gitana was originally a selection of vocal studies. However Marcel Mule's transcription for Alto Saxophone has made this delightful work more accessible. Dukas reflects the French romantic style in Alla Gitana through uses of flourishing semiquavers lyrical melodies and chromaticism. For all aspiring advancedsaxophonists Dukas' Alla Gitana is an exquisite addition to the repertoire.

En composant cette Rhapsodie pour le concours international Sax N' Dole, Alexis Ciesla a tenté d'équilibrer au mieux l'aspect exigeant qu'implique une telle commande avec une musique accessible à un large public. Ainsi, tout en utilisant le registre suraigu de l'instrument, une virtuosité omniprésente, en ouvrant les possibilités de jeu avec des techniques de slap, de bisbligliando ou l'improvisation' il n'a eu de cesse de penser cette composition dans sa dimension musicale. Le côté rhapsodique de la pièce lui a permis d'aborder avec densité et foisonnement l'aspect lyrique et expressif du saxophone, son panel de nuances et de couleurs tout autant que sa capacité à nous impressionner et à nous faire danser. / Saxophone / Billaudot

André Jolivet (1905-1974) established his love for composition from a young age. This remained throughout his life and he held the post of Professor of Composition from 1966-1970 at the Paris Conservatoire.

As the title suggests this Sonatine interprets musical elements of sport. With this in mind Tcherepnine's Sonatine is a highly amusing energetic and fun piece to play for saxophonists. Russian born composer Alexandre Tcherepnine (1899-1977) moved to Paris with his family in 1921 following the increasingly hostile political environment in Russia. During WWII Tcherepnine's composing activities virtually stopped. However just before doing so he composed his Sonatine Sportive. The first movement interprets boxers with pulsating quavers in the piano partrepresenting a defence. Movement two suggests a rest that the two players take before the 'racing' third movement written in the form of a canon. With such stimulating and imaginative creativity Tcherepnine's Sonatine is essential to the saxophonist's repertoire.
