Piano Reduction including solo part. Par DENISOV EDISON. The catalogue of Edison Denisov's works includes 16 concertos. It was a genre to which he returned time and again throughout his life, from the Concerto for Cello and Orchestra of 1972 to the Double Concerto for Flute, Clarinet and Orchestra of 1996. In Denisov's music the role of the soloist, or rather the protagonist, is extraordinarily important, not so much for its virtuosity as for its confessional character. The solo part is a monologue distinguished by poetic diction and a very personal message from the composer. The dramaturgical conception of the Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra, a reworking of the Viola Concerto of 1986, draws on traditional sonata form, thereby reaffirming the ubiquitous classicism in Denisov's thought. In this late work, we find all the typical features of his style: sinuous melodic lines layered into dense contrapuntal textures, and an interplay of orchestral colours, with pure sonorities contrasting with complex mixtures of sounds. It is a perfect dramaturgy that governs the evolution of the music to the very end. The first movement assumes the role of a sonata-allegro, with the standard formal sections of exposition, development, recapitulation and coda. The second movement is an Adagio for strings. The third takes the form of a little contrasting intermezzo that introduces both new thematic material and a new range of colours. Here tunefulness gives way to pointillism enriched with sonic effects. The only movement with a virtuosic solo part, its nervousness and inner tension set it worlds apart from the second and fourth movements that surround it. The fourth movement assumes the traditional form of a final set of variations. It is the dramaturgical and semantic heart of the concerto. The theme of the variations is Franz Schubert's Impromptu in B-flat major, op. 142, which in this case is 'born' from the celesta as the product of a dodecaphonic string cluster. This finale represents Denisov's homage to his great mentor, Schubert's music being for him a symbol of eternal and universal beauty. 'The attentive listener', Denisov stressed, 'will recognise that the Impromptu theme is already suggested very slowly in the course of the three preceding movements, not only thematically, but also psychologically. That's what makes the appearance of the Schubert theme sound so natural.' The variations relate to the variation genre less in their form than in their spiritual and conceptual metamorphoses. It is, one might say, 'music round about Schubert'. (Ekaterina Kouprovskaia-Denisova)/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto et Piano

Fantaisie Sur An American In Paris de G. Gershwin. Par DI BACCO GAETANO. George Gershwin est sans aucun doute le compositeur du XXe siècle qui a créé un point de rencontre entre la culture musicale européenne et populaire américaine. Ses grands chefs-d'oeuvre en témoignent, notamment Un Américain à Paris écrit lors de son séjour à Paris où il part apprendre les techniques de composition académiques européennes. Sa rencontre avec Maurice Ravel, compositeur et orchestrateur parmi les plus représentatifs de la musique européenne du XXe siècle, est historique. Four saxes in Paris est un hommage à George Gershwin et à son poème symphonique An american in Paris, duquel est tirée cette fantaisie, qui comprend 3 saxophones dans la partition orchestrale (alto, ténor et baryton qui jouent également 3 saxophones sopranos). Dans cet arrangement, le quatuor de saxophones parvient étonnamment à reproduire tout le “sound” et le “swing” de ce chef-d'œuvre : français dans la première partie, américain dans la seconde : les deux âmes du saxophone ! Depuis 1984 avec le Quartetto di Sassofoni Accademia (Gaetano Di Bacco, Enzo Filippetti, Giuseppe Berardini et Fabrizio Paoletti) en plus de la redécouverte du répertoire original, j'ai réalisé plusieurs arrangements pour quatuor de saxophones, mettant en évidence les particularités de cette formation, contribuant ainsi au grand développement technico-exécutif dont témoigne cet arrangement./ Répertoire / 4 Saxophones

Rikudim (de lhébreu rikud danse) est une suite de quatre danses originales inspirées de la musique traditionnelle juive. Lutilisation dune structure tonale orientale lintroduction de mesures irréguliéres et la richesse sonore delorchestration apportent à cette ?uvre une teinte mélancolique mais surtout une grande authenticité. Les thémes trés inspirés sont clairement différenciés. Lharmonisation quelquefois surprenante sans jamais être dénaturée confére à ces quatredanses originales juives une grande richesse dexpression.

Movie themes have their own special appeal. Their role is to convey and amplify the atmosphere and emotions of moving pictures. In many cases they take on a life of their own and it is such titles as these, classics in their own right, which we selected for this book.With a lot of effort and patience in both arranging this broad musical palette and recording the play-along CD, Alfred Music Publishing have been able to create play-alongs that are live studio recordings. Through this we can make a broad spectrum of styles accessible to the player, be it a classical orchestra, a jazz orchestra, a jazz combo, a rock and pop band or any of the possible line-ups in between.We are especially proud to have top-class musicians of the contemporary European music scene on our recordings. Their unique interpretations make it a worthwhile experience to just listen to the tracks, let alone having yourself accompanied by top notch musicians. The chord symbols are meant for accompaniment by a teacher or duet partner so that the themes can be played independently from the CD. This is why the symbols are shown in concert pitch, even in the editions for transposed instruments (i.e. clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone). The chord symbols also make it possible to perform tunes from 'Cinema Classics' live with a duet partner or band. / Saxophone Tenor
