Baviera

A concert for a solo instrument is not necessarily focused on the technical issues, so that the interpreter can show through extraordinary “acrobatic” passages and “fireworks“, that he perhaps has a total domain of his instrument. A solo concert is obviously much more than that. This concerto for alto saxophone, Baviera is based on this initial idea, do not use the technical resources, and explore other musical aspects. The work is presented in one movement, where several themes are articulated along the musical speech. These themes are based in the german music of the romantic period. There is however a singular theme that serves as a link to the entire structure, from a german nature, but clearly belongs to another period of music history.”The centuries that separate this theme from the others, echo in the mountains of Baviera.” Work dedicated to João Pedro Silva.
