Londeix Guide to the Saxophone Repertoire, 1844-2012 - Text

The LONDEIX GUIDE TO THE SAXOPHONE REPERTOIRE is the only complete comprehensive bibliography of music for saxophone. More than 18,000 works for saxophone from 1844 to 2012 (the entire lifespan of the saxophone) are cross-indexed by composer and instrumentation. Each entry includes valuable information in both English and French: title, duration, year of composition, publisher, arranger, dedicatee, movement titles, and biographical and stylistic information about the composer.

The impeccable detail and thorough work of Londeix make this publication an indispensable reference guide for all libraries and saxophonists. Appendices include business addresses of publishers and composers. This new edition indexes all works listed in the previous three editions (1971, 1985, and 1994), as well as thousands of new titles.

Jean-Marie Londeix, Professor of Saxophone Emeritus at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux, is recognized as one of the world’s foremost performers and scholars of the saxophone.
