Description
This three-movement Sonata was originally written for Violin and Piano. The music is attributed to Bach but there is some doubt as to whether Bach himself composed this work. This edition is transcribed for Saxophone with Piano accompaniment and includes parts for Alto Saxophone in E Flat and Soprano or Tenor Saxophone in B Flat. Suitable for ABRSM exams.
This is a fine example of how a Baroque sonata can be successfully transcribed for a more modern instrument such as the saxophone. John Harle has done a first-class job and has produced a transcription that lends itself perfectly to the characteristics of the instrument. This publication has been set on many of the top examination syllabuses worldwide and has also proved to be a popular choice on many recital programmes. (James Rae)
