| Programme notes: | I. Humoresque (3:00) II. Reverie (3:45) III. Toccata (2:05)
The Concertino for tenor saxophone and band is also available with piano reduction. It is in three movements, the first of which features occasional metric changes between 2/4 and 3/8, running sixteenth notes, syncopated rhythms, and occasional altissimo. The second movement, Reverie, is a simple lyric piece in 4/4 allowing for the utmost in expressive playing. The third movement is straightforward in rhythm but presents challenges with the fast tempo and sustained altissimo F at the end. |
