Pour Quatour De Saxophones. Par EOTVOS PETER. I got the idea of writing this piece during a rehearsal with Klaus Michael Grüber I saw in Berlin. Three actors were rehearsing a scene of Kleist. At the end, Grüber said: ‘… now once again in a different way.’ The text was identical but the interpretation was completely different and had almost nothing in common with the previous version. My piece is going in that direction too. In ‘Scène 1/A’ I imposed a certain character, and in ‘Scène 1/B lecture différente’ the same material is interpreted in a completely different way. The same is true in the second scene. Peter Eötvös / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / 4 Saxophones [SATBar]

Par BARTOK BELA. What distinguishes Béla Bartók from most of his European contemporaries is his lifelong dedication to folk music. He began to look into Hungarian peasant music out of musical interest only, but gradually extended his research to the neighbouring countries' folk music to study relatedness and differences, origins and influences. Bartók started to collect Romanian folk tunes in 1908, in 1915 he adapted them to be played on the piano – his “Romanian Christmas Carols” (UE 5890). This edition of sheet music provides the rewarding opportunity to plan a concert quite different to every other Christmas concert. This arrangement of Bartók's varied composition makes full use of a saxophone quartet's abundant acoustic possibilities. The colourful pieces will enhance the saxophone quartet repertoire./ Répertoire / 4 Saxophones [SATB]
