Par PIERNE. This quartet for Saxophones, entitled Introduction Et Variations Sur Une Ronde Populaire by Gabriel Pierne, 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 Et Variations begins slowly but is interrupted twice by the roundo. Gabriel Pierne (1863-1937) won the Prix de Rome in 1882. The composer wrote manychamber compositions, Piano pieces, symphonic music and some oratorios./ Répertoire / 4 Saxophones

Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) was a French composer conductor and organist. Despite being predominantly remembered as a conductor his Canzonetta arranged for Flute and Piano by André Petiot remains a recognised piece in the repertoire. Pierné studied at the Paris Conservatoire before taking up the position of chief conductor for the concert series Concerts Colonne in 1910. He remained in the post until 1933 and during this time he notably conducted the world premiere of Igor Stravinsky's 'The Firebird'. Pierné composed for a variety of instruments. Canzonetta originally composer for Clarinet with Piano accompaniment is one of four solo works by the composer. This Pierné piece arranged for Flute contains many characteristics typical of the French style such as lyrical melodies a significant number of performance directions flourishes of semiquavers chromaticism and many changes in dynamics. Canzonetta is a varied piece essential to the repertoire of aspiring flautists.
