This
quartet for saxophones,
entitled Introduction and
Variations on a Popular
Rondo by Gabriel
Pierné, is a standard
in the saxophone quartet
repertoire. Composed in
1934 and dedicated to the
Marcel Mule Quartet, this
piece for advanced
players is as bright and
cheerful as a round dance
should be, and yet, quite
delicate and light in
terms of writing. With
many ornaments and
variations, Introduction
and Variations begins
slowly but is interrupted
twice by the rondo.
Gabriel Pierné
(1863-1937) won the Prix
de Rome in 1882. The
composer wrote many
chamber compositions,
piano pieces, symphonic
music and some
oratorios.
