This book is aimed at both performers and composers. It is therefore fitting that two insiders from their respective fields have come together: saxophonist Marcus Weiss and composer Giorgio Netti. The most important playing, fingering, and sound techniques for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones are explained in a systematic manner. These techniques are demonstrated through instructive examples and practice guidelines, while also providing information about the specifics of notation. Through the links to sound examples specially compiled for this book, readers can compare their own results with the recordings by the author, Marcus Weiss. The book is an essential, practice-oriented resource for both performers and educators, as well as for composers.
