Rhapsody - Alto Sax and Piano

Includes alto sax solo part and piano reduction of the orchestra.

This work was the required piece for the 5th Adolphe Sax Competition in Dinant, Beligium, 2010.

Rhapsody is not a programmatic work, but one that spontaneously turns into a natural musical journey. André Waignein showcases and explores both the technical prowess and the expressive nature of the saxophone. The three movements take the soloist from a virtuosic arabesque to a lyrical and expressive theme before jumping back into a lively tarantella. Rhapsody for alto saxophone concludes with one final majestic, breathtaking flourish.
