As the
saxophone is commonly
associated with the jazz
style, classical music
for the instrument had
always been lacking and
so when Paul Bonneau
published his Concerto
for Alto Saxophone in
1944, it was
well-received by
performers of the genre.
Bonneau's composition was
highly versatile, ranging
from over fifty film
scores, operettas, songs
and other pieces for
Saxophone, including this
concerto. Comprising
three movements, a
typical performance lasts
about fifteen minutes.
Bonneau's Concerto for
Alto Saxophone contains
typically French
characteristics,
including chromaticism
and difficult technical
passages. All these
elements combined make
for an enjoyable and
challenging piece for
saxophonists.
