Of Wind and Touch

Of Wind and Touch is a passionate and exciting piece for a baritone sax and piano duo, and offers an adventurous saxophonist a broad range of music to explore within a single movement. This sonata is an adaptation of Shapiro’s bassoon and piano work, Of Breath and Touch. Not all pieces lend themselves to new incarnations, but this one turned out to be particularly well-suited to the intensities and range of the bari sax.
