Description
French composer, Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the woodwind repertoire, particularly for Saxophone. Characteristic Pieces in the Form of a Suite for Alto Saxophone and Piano was published in 1962 and remains popular in the advanced saxophonist's repertoire. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. The fourth movement of Characteristic Pieces in the Form of a Suite for Alto Saxophone and Piano, "To the Hungarian Woman" reflects Dubois' compositional characteristics as well as elements of Hungarian characteristics, and a typical performance lasts about two and a half minutes. Characteristic Pieces in the Form of a Suite is essential to the advanced saxophonist's repertoire. Dubois' most famous work makes for an exciting and enjoyable performance for players and audiences alike.
