FOREWORD
Although many outstanding composers have written solos for the saxophone, its comparatively late invention leaves a great void in its literature. For many years its use was confined to military bands and, occasionally, the orchestra. Emergence of the saxophone as a solo instrument did not take place until the 1920’s, and it is since then that most of the solo literature written for it has been composed. If the serious saxophonist wants to perform the music of the Classical and Romantic periods, he must turn to transcriptions.
The pieces in this collection have been selected for their musical value, and for their adaptability to the st)le and limitations of the instrument. Being transcriptions, certain changes were necessary. Cuts have been made where deemed advisable and many of the compositions were transposed from their original keys. Tempo indications are those recommended b) the transcriber. Technically the solos might be graded from medium-easy to medium-difficult.
It is suggested that, for the purpose of interpretative study, the student avail himself of other music by the domposers included here. A knowledge of the style of each composer and the era in which he lived ir inlraluable.
These compositions may be used both as study pieces and in formance, and are valuable additions to the literature available saxophone.
