Summary of This Collection
This collection brings together 7 characteristic pieces for young saxophonists (1st cycle: easy). The goal is to broaden the repertoire from the early years, with accessible writing but rich in musical ideas: phrasing, articulation, breath control, rhythmic precision, and dynamics. Thanks to contrasting accompaniments (piano, percussion, electro-acoustic tape), the student learns to navigate different sound contexts, to refine balance, and to gain tempo stability.
The path proposed by Nicolas Prost highlights complementary universes: the impact of an electro-acoustic support, the intimacy of the saxophone-piano duo, and the effectiveness of dialogue with percussion. Each piece can be integrated into weekly work (sight-reading, ensemble coordination, interpretation), but also serve as material for a performance: short format, strong identity, and immediate expressive potential for a young performer.
Contents: JacobTV: Just things like that! (saxophone and electro-acoustic tape); Christian Lauba: Little clouds (saxophone and electro-acoustic tape); Gustavo Beytelmann: Breve (saxophone and piano); Pascal Zavaro: Danse de l'ourson (saxophone and percussion); Karol Beffa: L'enfant prisonnier (saxophone and piano); Mark W. Phillips: Whaddup (saxophone and electro-acoustic tape); Gilles Martin: Saxi driver (saxophone and piano).
