Description
Written in 1934, this alto sax concerto is a fourteen-minute piece dedicated to Sigmud M. Rasher, a famous Saxophonist and soloist. Initially composed for saxophone and strings, there was no mention of a second composer, even though the 1936 publication adapted for saxophone and piano mentioned the name by André Petiot.
The concerto starts with an Allegro moderato in 4-4, followed by an Andante transition mainly in C-flat Major at 3-4, and ending on a Fugueto in 12-8. The first performance of this concerto in public occurred after the death of its author, in Paris.
