Leduc Concerto en mi bémol opus 19

Summary of This Collection

Designed for the alto saxophone and piano duo, this collection highlights the classical aesthetic of Alexander Glazunov through demanding yet approachable writing, perfectly suited to an intermediate level. The saxophone part emphasizes in-depth work on breath control, melodic line, and dynamics, while requiring flexibility of tone production and stability of intonation in the key registers of the alto. The piano accompaniment, conceived as a true musical partner, allows for development of listening skills, sound balance, and rhythmic placement, whether in lessons, rehearsals, or on stage.

Thanks to the inclusion of separate parts, preparation is more comfortable: the saxophonist has clear and direct reading, while the pianist benefits from an accompaniment part adapted for duo playing. This format is particularly relevant for building an audition program, preparing an end-of-year performance, or enriching one's alto saxophone sheet music repertoire with a work firmly rooted in tradition, while remaining pedagogically effective. The French-English edition enhances the collection's accessibility and facilitates understanding of any performance and interpretative instructions, regardless of your learning context.
