@austinburrington6434 if you go to his recent videos, you’ll see he posted another piece from this performance and he includes that he was 18 at the time. still impressive asf

1:27 Those two notes alone were so pleasant on their own as well.

I must say that you have one of the most liquidy, smooth, but also crisp tones, that is so accurately in tune, vibrato excellent. technique and tempo is so accurate and perfect, it's amazing, I've heard so many classicalsaxophone players on youtube but this is definitely one of if not the best video I've seen yet, Bravo!!!

Magical ! Thanks for sharing, that’s beautiful 🤩

Amazing interpretation I used to play alto too for 2 years and I got really good but I gave it up for violin and im currently trying to play this piece and hearing you just makes me want to practice more. Must be really hard to learn this on sax.

A learning a new note low c and it's hard to play I play saxophone for a year now

Consigue una mejor interpretación que muchos violinistas. Por otro lado el color del saxofón permite apreciar mejor la belleza armónica de la pieza. La dificultad parece evidente, sin embargo es muy agradable de oir. Bravo

Bravo, belle version. Le bariolage final, sur les Mi médium, en ajoutant C ? J’hésite en ce moment, car en ajoutant Bb, le changement de timbre est plus juste sur le plan de l’intonation, mais plus complexe à enchaîner. Merci 😎

Any classical pieces anyone would recommend for a high school level starting in classical saxophone? I been playing Alto for 3+ years but all I can find is pop music and jazz 🥱🙄 and I don’t know what composers would be good for someone starting with classical music since there are so little

If you don't have them, the Ferling etudes are good for classical chops, but they're pretty hard, you'll probably use them for years. Otherwise, Bach and Mozart has a lot of stuff that's been transposed to saxophone, I recommend checking a verified music site. Also, sorry if you've found stuff already lol, I just saw the comment

Very nice entry level pieces are two sonatas for saxophone from the Rascher repertoire: the Eccles sonata and the Handel sonata no. 3. There is also Introduction,dance,and furioso by Couf. Also try and pick up a copy of Top Tones for Saxophone. Here is a link to a list of classical repertoire: www.kutztown.edu/Departments-Offices/M-R/Music/Documents/Jazz%20Saxophone%20Repertoire.pdf

It’s in the title. Paganini Caprice 1. It’s scored violin, he’s playing it on a saxophone, they are a transcribed version.

do saxophones even have enough range for this

What????????????

Just why
