La Ronde des Lutins

Here is a virtuoso concert piece that will challenge any alto saxophonist. "La Ronde des Lutins" (The Dance of the Goblins) originally composed for violin by Antonio Bazzini in 1852, is a masterful work that creates some intense technical gymnastics for any wind instrument. Many alternate fingerings need to be utilized. There is also slap tonguing, false fingerings, and optional double tonguing. It is graded "Advanced" due to the relentless technical facility needed and frequent use of the altissimo register. A true crowd pleaser, this solo is perfect for any recital or encore. (NOTES: For time, the first two repeated sections take the second ending on the video sample. 9x12 piano score and alto sax part).
