I did poorly in this video, especially with phrasing, and the low notes wouldn't come out well due to a need of a visit to the repair shop and you could see that at the end when i do a trill, I want a lot of constructive criticism on techniques and such, I don't need any comments on my obvious mistakes like really slow tempo for Andante
this piece was originally for the alto sax but it was the only "hard" solo available to me since its the hardest my band director has I guess

  • @FrenchHornMaster3125 well, i actually DO believe that its a level 6. it surely can be. im a pretty good saxophone player, but i cannot seem to get this up to the tempo that my director would like me to. (78) 16th notes at 78 in 3/4 can be tricky. especially being in the high octave in part of the first movement and you have to go down to a middle a. pain in the ass. :| nyssma is in like 18 days i think. i believe im fucked over. (: wish me luck! lmao.

  • @XxconversegirlxX Thx, I just Found out a few weeks ago that the book i used for the information (the slow tempo and all) was from an etude book which information was not valid! The solos in the books were messed up and changed so I could not use the book for solos. The book said level 6 (I don't trust it anymore.) But I trust you totally.

  • the first movement is Adagio. which is NOT 56. its between 66 and 72 i believe. This piece for saxophone does not give a specific tempo, just Adagio. and FrenchHornMaster, are you talking about the level of this piece? because according to NYSSMA (New York State School Music association) this is a level Four.

  • By the way, it's grade 6

  • Actual speed is 56 (I have the piece myself.) you'll get it. Great Job

  • A bit more practice is advised from me. The tone quality you have is spectacular. Just keep practicing and you'll get up to the speed that is required for this piece. I play the alto saxophone and I believe I use a ligature that is quiet close to the one that you are using. Keep at it!

  • this is good.. but try to be a bit more consistent with tempo, and dont be afraid to put air through that horn!

  • sound like one your keys in missing it's resting pad
