Topic

  • Five short pieces of about 2-4 minutes each, for soprano / alto and tenor saxophone, of great charm and musical enjoyment.
  • Originally composed for the soundtrack of the film Alla fine della notte by Salvatore Piscitelli in 2003.
  • The pieces fully exploit the technical possibilities of the two saxes and some explore the high register of the instrument.
  • Excellent test bed for the technical study of complex rhythms.
  • Effective concert pieces.
  • Intermediate-advanced executive level.

 

Curiosities

As a saxophone teacher at the Conservatory, the author noted a certain lack of compositions for two saxes both in teaching and in the concert repertoire. With these five dances he therefore contributes to fill this gap.
