G. Henle Verlag Rhapsody for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra - Debussy/Heinemann - Alto Saxophone/Piano Reduction - Book

Composer: Claude Debussy
Editor: Ernst-Gunter Heinemann
Piano Reduction: Jang Eun Bae
Part Arrangement: Daniel Gauthier
Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Alto Saxophone and Piano Reduction

The piano reduction is based on the study edition HN 9989, published simultaneously, giving access to Debussy's short score in printed form for the first time. The composer afforded the saxophone few solo entries. Today, in particular in the version with piano accompaniment, it is usual to give the saxophone further melodic sections taken from the orchestra. For this reason the Henle edition not only includes the original part but also an additional solo part by Daniel Gauthier, professor of classical saxophone at the Music Conservatory in Cologne. It was the first work for saxophone in the Henle catalogue.
