Minimax was premiered in 1923 in the original version for string quartet at the Donaueschinger Musiktage and edited in 2014 by Christoph Enzel for saxophone quartet. The 6 parodies of military music perfectly match the saxophone, the wit and spirit of the compositions can be transferred without restriction. Some coarseness works almost better on the saxophone than in the original.

Arachnophobia - fear of spiders - is the title of one of Maxime Aulio's first compositions for saxophone quartet (SATB). It is a simple musical amusement and a humorous allusion to the composer's fear of spiders. Come forth intrepid saxophone players! Arachnophobie betekent: ‘Angst voor spinnen'...! Het is de welluidende titel van het nieuwe werk voor saxofoonkwartet van Maxime Aulios. Ook de afzonderlijke delen hebben natuurlijk toepasselijke titels. Zo passeren Spinnendans, Marsvan de vogelspin en Zwarte Weduwe allemaal de revue. Bang voor spinnen? Na het horen van dit prachtige werk vast niet meer!Arachnophobie - Angst vor Spinnen - ist der klangvolle Titel einer von Maxime Aulios ersten Kompositionen für Saxophonquartett. Mit einem Augenzwinkern bezieht er sich darin auf seine eigene Angst vor Spinnen. Keine Angst vor diesem anspruchsvollen Werk sollten Saxophonisten haben: Die Mühe lohnt sich! Arachnophobie, la phobie des araignées, est le titre d'une délicieuse composition en trois mouvements (Danse d'araignées - Marche de la mygale - Veuves noires) de Maxime Aulio, écrite pour quatuor de saxophones. N'ayez crainte, cette œuvre qui ne vous piquera pas, vaut la peine d'être jouée. L'aracnofobia, ovvero la paura dei ragni, è il tema di questo brano per 4 sassofoni (SATB) di Maxime Aulio. Anche i titoli dei tre movimenti fanno riferimento ai ragni: La danza dei ragni, La marcia dei ragni, La vedova nera. Un brano esigente, ma che i sassofonisti non devono temere. Anzi, in concerto proporranno una musica nuova ed accattivante!

This nice and easy-to-perform ragtime features a number of catchy tunes. Every individual voice carries the melody. The retardations and accelerations stipulated in the second part of the arrangement give the artist's fancy full scope. The modulated reprise takes the piece to its final climax. Time for Ragtime!

James Pugh has written a short work of chamber music in one movement called Short Scherz, Quintet for Saxophone Quartet and Trombone. This music is appropriate for very advanced performers and is about 2 1/2 minutes in length. The work begins with a bouncy melody (A Theme) that works it's way up through the instruments, comes to a climax and continues on into a languid melodic section (B Theme) and works its way by adding speed and dynamics to the conclusion (A Theme repeated). This work was written for and first performed in 1989 by George Marge and the American Saxophone Quartet with Mr. Pugh.
