Eckardt's intricate solo was commissioned by the New York State Music Fund/Meet the Composer for Taimur Sullivan, who premiered the work in March 2008. For advanced performers, who wish to explore the full range of the instrument's capabilities. Duration: 12'.
Accidentals apply only to notes that they immediately precede with the exception of tied and consecutively repeated notes. Courtesy accidentals are occasionally supplied for clarity. The tempo is consistent throughout the meter changes (i.e., e=e, x=x, etc.). Multiphonic fingerings were derived from Daniel Kientzyas Les Sons Multiples aux Saxophones (Salabert). Circled numbers to the left of the fingering diagram correspond with the fingering numbers in Kientzyas text. One exception is in m. 114 where the fingering for number 14 was substituted for number 2 as it yielded more consistent results for the intended sonority. No vibrato is to be used throughout the piece. This is a transposed score. Approximate duration: 12 minutes. |
