3. 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.
