The music is in the key of G major and the total duration is 2 minutes. This music was written as a self-accompanied work, as such the underlying harmonic structure is built into the melody. Some other distinctive features include an abundance of chromatic notes, changes in tempo such as rubato and accelerando, and dramatic fermata. The tenor saxophone is a member of the saxophone family, these musical instruments were invented by the Belgian Adolphe Sax in the 1840s. The tenor, along with the alto, are the two most popular types of saxophones. It sounds an octave and a major second below written pitch, and thus is pitched in Bb. It is usually written in the treble clef. A person who plays the instrument is known as a "tenor saxophonist" or a "tenor sax player". | |||||
