The connection of J. S. Bach with the saxophone may initially seem bizarre, but from a musical material perspective, Bach’s music is ideal for developing students’ musical sensitivity and aesthetics. In this collection, you will find arrangements of 26 movements from Bach’s French, English, and German suites (partitas) for all types of saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass) with piano accompaniment (in various keys). These pieces serve as excellent material for acquainting oneself with Baroque music and understanding its specifics. They develop a sense of detail, rhythm, sound production, timing, intonation, articulation, dynamics, and breath control, making them an excellent introduction to the world of ornaments and trills.
