Don't Baroque trills start on the upper note????
@davidr27042 ай бұрын
Yes BUT that is fairly new information that was certainly not known to Rascher's teachers. Original-style performances didn't really become a thing until he was middle-aged, and as a saxophone player he would not have been first to hear about baroque research, plus he was known for sticking with traditional ways (which in his case would include starting trills on the main note).

I love the skill and technique, but hate that classical sound. Always reminds me of playing on a dry #3 reed that isn’t broken in.

My introduction to Sigurd. My Dad played the Alto sax, clarinet and flute and I played the Eb Alto sax also -- Galladoro came to our Hi School in 1960 (guest for our Assembly) and I always enjoy Rudy Wiedoeft's recordings --- they are all fabulous. (We had a Buescher Dad got for $50 in a Long Beach pawn shop about 1958)

I met Sigurd Rascher in 1976 at UGA while attending a Rascher Saxophone Workshop hosted by my teacher Kenneth Norwood "Buddy" Deans. I will never forget when during a break, Mr. Rascher picked up his Gold plated Alto and played a 4 octave chromatic scale up and down. My jaw hit the floor! It was flawless!

Esta manera de interpretar el saxofón es propia de los genios de este instrumento. A Rascher, la sociedad saxofonística, le debe el haber mostrado que este instrumento remplazaría a las nobles "cuerdas". Llegando a ser un instrumento altamente versátil ocupar un lugar prominente en Jazz. Gracias a quien subió esta maravilla.

Two sides of the man we never see again: he's doing a light classical '20s virtuoso piece - actually written by a saxophonist - and he's playing in Paris! His conception is fully formed even at this early date, right up to the pristine G4 in the opening cadenza.
