One of my saxophone students played Riverside at a recital. She did a great job and the piece played well for an intermediate musician. It has nice harmonies, the accompaniment supports the solo, the rhythm structure gives the student an opportunity to explore 6/8 and 3/4 combined, and the range covers what an intermediate player should be playing. A very successful piece and highly recommended!
i absolutely love this song. i am 12, and people say i am i child prodigy, so this song isnt very difficult for me. but, it is absolutely fun. i played it on the bari sax though, and it still sounds good. thanks :)
