Duo Sonata No. 1
Publisher Desc.
Duo Sonata No. 1 by Loeillet de Gant, arranged for any two saxophones. This sonata is based on a for two flutes (recorders) published by Walsh of London (Walsh and Hare No. 51). The original work for recorders is in A minor. This transcription for any two saxophones is in the key of C minor.
This arrangement of Duo Sonata No. 1 is for Any Two Saxophones. It includes parts 1 and 2 for both E-flat and B-flat saxophones. Parts may be played in any combination. If playing with two differing saxophones, it might be best to have the smaller instrument play part one. Duo Sonata No. 1 is in four short movements: Adagio, Allegro, Adagio, Giga (Allegro). The performance time is about 8 minutes (all movements, all repeats). Overall, the piece is of moderate difficulty. The short duration and limited range in both parts makes it very accessible for intermediate players. A brief appendix explaining Baroque music ornaments is included in the score.
