Summary of This Score
At a time when the saxophone had virtually no established repertoire, these 20 duets appear as genuine "beginnings" of the instrument: chamber music designed to bring to life the sounds, flexibility, and expressiveness of the emerging saxophone. Composed during the lifetime of Adolphe Sax, they constitute a direct tribute to the inventor, while today offering a valuable corpus for building students' technique and ear.
The pedagogical revision makes it a particularly relevant resource for the 2nd cycle: the two voices respond to, imitate, and complement each other, encouraging in-depth work on ensemble, intonation (especially in intervals), breathing, and dynamic control. In duet, each musician becomes both soloist and accompanist: an excellent environment to develop autonomy, active listening, and phrasing sense.
These duets will naturally find their place in preparing for a recital, exam, or class program. They also allow for the creation of an accessible, musical, and educational concert repertoire, ideal for introducing audiences to the richness of the saxophone in a small ensemble, while highlighting the rapport and balance between the two performers.
