Product description
As the title suggests, this sonatine interprets musical elements of sport. With this in mind, Tcherepnine's Sonatine is a highly amusing, energetic and fun piece to play for saxophonists. The first movement interprets boxers, with pulsating quavers in the piano part representing a defense. Movement two suggests a rest that the two players take before the 'racing' third movement, written in the form of a canon. With such stimulating and imaginative creativity, Tcherepnine's Sonatine is a fun addition to the saxophonist's repertoire.
Alexander Nikolayevich Tcherepnin (1899 – 1977) was a Russian-born composer and pianist. Tcherepnin to leave Russia permanently in 1921 and they move with his family in Paris.
