This is a common collection of music performed by saxophonist in Middle School and High School.

Incredibly underrated. One of the most beautiful classical saxophone sounds on youtube.

[@savagekoalaftw9622]

I'm playing this for my solo and ensemble competition this weekend. The vibrato just kills me.

[@dinahbrown919]

I am auditioning for a degree in Music Education at the University of Michigan right now!! I played this solo last year at solo and ensemble and I am using it as an audition piece!

[@neckman6147]

Good luck

[@Joseph-tm5vv]

That page turn at 6:03 though. Probably harder than the actual music 😂😂😂

[@Waketysax]

Thank you. This is great. It has given me something to aim for. I’m learning this piece at the moment and I will listen to this over again to help guide me. It’s extremely helpful as I love the way you play it.

Love the sond! Love the playing!

[@felixgong22]

Wow! Beautifully played!!! I am so scared about my solo!

[@bradleyhoward1601]

Awesome playing, beautiful sound! I wish I could play that well.

[@anairenesax]

Hello! First of all, congratulations on your playing. FANTASTIC! :) May ask where did you get the audio accompaniment? I'm saxophone teacher and I struggle with the accompaniment pieces, this sounds very nice. Thank you

[@bennewton2708]

Try Smartmusic. They have a ton of audio and sheet music for stuff like this. They don't have the music for the book he is playing, but they do have the accompaniment for most solo books like this (including this one). If you want to turn off repeats and stuff, go to customize on the audio. Very versatile.

[@anairenesax]

thank you :)

[@yunwang1243]

Unbelievably beautiful.

[@SuzieGStudios]

Thank you so much for making this available. Beautiful representation of this piece!

[@zaky2904]

Beautiful sound and great performance. What is you set up? I'm looking for a mouthpiece for classical pieces.

[@letshopethatthisonedoesntgetba]

probably a saxophone

[@michaele8375]

Does somebody know where I can download the background music? I need to play this song for my school exam. Beautiful playing and greetings from Germany

[@goodmansaxophone]

Hi Michael! The background music is from the program "Smart Music." This program has many backing tracks that include method books, saxophone repertoire, etudes, and jazz charts. Good luck, and thank you for the kind remark!

[@SuzieGStudios]

Edward Goodman I have Smart Music and cant find this.

[@smashsensei4237]

Mr.Goodman would telling me what tempo you were taking the first and second piece at? Im playing this piece for solo and ensemble.

[@irinaindeikina4042]

+Evan Roberts I know this is late, but... Siciliene: 1/8 note=108 Allegro:1/8 note=168

[@rienzichrisolivarez]

can you send me the backing track

[@bruhhhh625]

The copy my band director gave me stops at 4:37. I wonder why?

[@dylanlydell9198]

He might have forgotten to give you a third page. My band director did as well (:

[@bruhhhh625]

+Dylan Lydell that would be extremely unfortunate, as the audition for all state is in nine days.

[@bruhhhh625]

+Dylan Lydell and I won't be back from break until the fourth

[@bennewton2708]

+Dylan Lydell the third page is the best part though. Just get the whole book. I assume you're in high school so you can afford it. It's on Amazon for 10-20 bucks, and it has about 6 solos worth playing for me. Worth it.

[@dylanlydell9198]

+Ben Newton Thanks, but I already did the solo back in February. I did play the third page with it

[@mateocrespo2598]

maybe could you please pass the piano mp3 if you still have it please?

[@smashsensei4237]

Or anyone? Please, I need to know this.

[@dylanhocking7319]

Evan Roberts He is taking the first part (Sicilienne) at about 110 bpm and is taking the second part (Allegro) at about 170 bpm.

[@rodrigoresendez8037]

I'm playing this for my solo....I want to jump into a void ;-;

[@andrewduan5123]

+Rodrigo Resendez yea, same. I'm doing it for G6

[@bennewton2708]

I just have it for a recital, and only the allegro. I can play it now, but I have a two week vacation without my saxophone before the recital.

[@DJdood123]

Grade 6?!! I've got it for grade 4 goml kid

[@andrewduan5123]

Your Face really? I'm in Australia doing AMEB tests and its listed as a grade 6 list A. I dont know how grades work outside of Australia

[@anaemicladybug9571]

Me too °_°

[@NoName-jx1fr]

0:12 - Siciliene 2:06 - Allegro

[@alec_6468]

not bad boomer

[@DAnDIDOo_1]

can you do better?

[@evespajk1904]

Играешь хорошо, но не поднимай плечи и локти, этого делать нельзя
