Score Summary
11 Popular Pieces by Rachmaninov, drawn from symphonies, concertos, preludes, and romances, elegantly simplified and arranged for alto saxophone and piano (with CD) by Hywel Davies. This collection offers a selection of iconic works designed to provide quick access to Rachmaninov's expressive world: broad melodic lines, rich harmonies, and contrasting atmospheres, ranging from intimate lyricism to more virtuosic outbursts. The writing for alto saxophone favors a comfortable tessitura and natural phrasing, perfect for developing breathing, phrase shaping, and dynamics, while preserving the "great melody" spirit so characteristic of Russian romanticism.
The piano accompaniment provides essential harmonic color, supports the pulse, and reinforces the character of each piece. To facilitate setup and independent practice, the piano parts are available for free download on the publisher's website (in PDF format). The included CD is an additional educational asset to prepare interpretation, work on duo balance, and refine articulation, whether you are a student, teacher, or saxophonist seeking an expressive and immediately rewarding repertoire.
