Summary of This Score
3 Opera Paraphrases compiled by Fabien Chouraki is aimed at saxophonists who wish to bring the world of lyric theater into their instrumental playing. More than just a sequence of notes, this collection emphasizes what makes opera powerful: singing, breathing, intention, contrasts, and the art of rubato when the style requires it. The author explicitly encourages listening to and watching the original operas, specifying the title and location of each aria to facilitate identification while listening. This approach helps you integrate the character, musical diction, and expressiveness unique to each scene.
The content brings together three fantasies inspired by essential works of the repertoire: a fantasy on Il Barbiere di Siviglia by Gioacchino Rossini, a fantasy on Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and a fantasy on Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi. Each paraphrase offers an ideal platform to work on phrase shaping (like a singer), legato quality, accents, articulation, and dynamic control, while developing a sound presence capable of evoking the orchestra and dramaturgy. It is an excellent resource to diversify your saxophone repertoire in a classical aesthetic, prepare an audition program, or simply deepen your interpretation through the codes of opera.
