Description
"Famous pieces by G. F. Handel for Eb Alto Saxophone and Piano Volume 2 is an anthology of four pieces arranged for Alto Saxophone and Piano by Marcel Mule. This second book features four sonatas, all composed initially by G. F. Handel and part of the collection Saxophone Classics by Mule.
- First sonata: Flute and Piano
- Second sonata: Violin and Piano
- Fourth sonata: Flute and Piano
- Sixth sonata: Violin and Piano
Each sonata should be played separately and their level of difficulty is quite challenging, which would match the abilities of upper intermediate / advanced players who have mastered their breathing.
Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is one of the greatest French saxophonists, renowned worldwide for his work on the classical Saxophone repertoire. He was teaching his students how to obtain a good quality of sound and believed it was dependent on the embouchure, the emission, the mastery of vibrato and thus of breathing. He wrote different methods that focus on technique, articulation and tone productions such as 'Dix-huit Exercices ou Études', 'Exercices Journaliers daprès Terschack' or '30 Grands Exercices ou Études daprès Soussmann' (in two books), among others."
