- CONCERTO en Mi bémol (Eb major)
Product description
Written in 1934 by Alexandre Glazounov (1865-1936), this Eb Concerto for alto saxophone is a fourteen-minute piece dedicated to Sigmud M. Rasher, a famous saxophonist and soloist. Initially composed for saxophone and strings, there was no mention of a second composer, even though the 1936 publication adapted for saxophone and piano mentioned the name by André Petiot (1886-1976). The first performance of this concerto in public occurred after the death of its author, in Paris.
This concerto is a classical piece of the saxophone romantic repertoire.
Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (1865 - 1936) was a Russian composer of the Romantic period, a music teacher and conductor.
