Tomaso Albinoni - Adagio In G minor (SFSQ version)

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (1671 - 1751) & Remo Giazotto (1910 - 1998)

Adagio in G minor for strings and organ (the San Francisco saxophone quartet version)

The adagio in G minor for strings and organ is a piece composed by Remo Giazotto while supposedly based on a fragment from a Sonata in G minor by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni which was found amongst the ruins of the old Saxon State Library, Dresden, after it was firebombed by the Allies during World War II. The Adagio was first published in 1958.

Great Interpretation of this piece. But, as you certainly know, this isn't an Albinoni's piece. A Biograph of the XIXth century found a not finished prelude of Albinoni and he wrote this well-known "Adagio". But I have to admit that this score is really marvellous !

[The30YearOldVirgin]

Yes, he was Remo Giazotto (1910 - 1998).

I credited him in the "More Info" section. :)

I actually ADORE the interpretation of the piece!

it still has the essence of the original, and the timbre of the saxophones s absolutly gorgeous!

where do i find an arrangement of this for my string quartet?

[Saxyfreak]

Beautiful! I played this piece when I first started my education at the conservatory, brings back memories :)

Putésne Albinónus tristitátem capere conabatur híc ægrótudinis dolórisque, quós circum sensit et vidit? Admittendum mihí est, lacrimáví cum hóc opus audiverim semel, mirabilis musica auditú est. Num dedecus sit? Deus eum beát autem!

Actually, the information that Remo Giazotto is the real composer of the Adagio is not just from Wikipedia; the program notes on several albums (which I happen to own) in which this composition appears also state that Giazotto wrote it based on a fragment of Albinoni's work "discovered" in 1945.

I'm one of the saxophone players in my quartet in High School. I really love the interpretation of this piece on sax, it's very beautiful and sweet sounding. Could you please send me the score/parts to this piece? I would really appreciate it.

@Annetje99 Albinoni is the composer, Giazotto found this adagio and he only published it to the world... wikipedia sucks... you should search for real resources not only a little of clicks in your computer

@rpalmatron

I am very rude now you come to ask.

[rpalmatron]

@MarcusCardiff

How rude are you!

So just because I want this for a string quartet I'm in, I'm now obviously self important? are you actually being serious?

[sergiopira62]

Timbric completeness and precision  of reeds in great performance.

I think that it is good that the saxophone is getting to perform classically. Sometimes I find jazz to be obnoxious. Sorry if I offended anyone.
