I've been in a composition class all semester. Our final assignment was to write a concept piece for sax quartet. Concept pieces are generally hard because you have to convey an idea or story through them. It was a challenge for me personally because I hate having only wind instruments because the players need to breathe.
Any way we had some saxophonist majors come play our pieces today, for a one shot sight read I was rather impressed. They slur things a little too fast, hit some wrong notes, and have to try thr bridge a few times to get a passable version but its still really good on their part.
Side note:
This is a saxophone
They come in several sizes and don't all look like that. I know its hard for some of you to understand since all you listen to is computer generated noise or people speaking in rhythem whilst rhyming poorly, but you blow in to one end and use you fingers to generate pitches arranged in a logical order to make music. Its crazy, I know.
