Summary of This Score
Paul Bonneau (1918-1995) was recognized by his contemporaries as a true leader of French light symphonic music. A highly sought-after composer and orchestrator, he collaborated on around fifty major films, numerous short films, and also composed ballet and operetta music. Within this refined, narrative, and immediately colorful aesthetic, he reserved a special place for the saxophone with several pieces that have become lasting references for performers.
Composed in 1948, Caprice en forme de valse pour saxophone seul (1948) quickly established itself on the international stage. Far from a simple étude, this fantasy places virtuosity at the heart of the musical discourse: agility, precision of articulation, breath control, and mastery of contrasts serve a genuine concert intention. The waltz form provides a natural momentum and a typically French elegance, while allowing for brilliant passages that highlight the performer's personality.
This score is intended for saxophonists wishing to work on a demanding and musical solo piece, capable of revealing both technical solidity and stylistic sense. An ideal piece to build a program, assert one's sonic identity, and enrich one's saxophone repertoire with a recognized and frequently programmed work.
