Opus 7b

Opus 7b explores the virtuosic potential of the sopranino saxophone, challenging the performer with demanding passages that test the limits of speed, control, and expression. The musical language focuses on the nuances of linear, fast, and dense melodic writing. This work invites listeners to experience the unique timbre and expressive capabilities of an instrument often positioned at the periphery of contemporary solo music.
