| | Alto saxophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The alto has great versatility and is used commonly in concert, jazz, funk, blues, pop, marching bands, and rock music. | | | The alto saxophone is a transposing instrument and reads the treble clef in the key of E-flat (that is to say, a written C for the alto will sound as E-flat concert, a major sixth lower). | | | The range of the alto saxophone is from concert D-flat (Db3) to concert A-flat (Ab5) (or A5 on altos with a high F# key). |

| | At least, that’s what saxophone manufacturers are wont to say of it – I’ve never been entirely sure what a "lyrical quality" sounds like when it’s produced by an instrument that can’t sing. | | | The variety of available saxophones and reeds make it suitable for numerous musical forms, including jazz, rock, middle of the road elevator music and various ostensibly classical forms. | | | Learn from other sax players: Listen to recordings with sax parts, and listen specifically for the saxophone. |

| | Alto Saxophone |
| | From the mid-1920s onward, many big band alto saxophonists have filled a dual role, best personified by the multi-talented Benny Carter, serving as the lead voice in the saxophone section as well as a featured solo improvisor. | | | One of the two most influential bebop pioneers of the 1940s was an alto saxophonist, Charlie Parker, whose harmonic innovations helped revolutionize jazz and whose assertive approach and forthright timbre opened up new avenues of expression for the horn. | | | This four-saxes-plus-rhythm date is one of them, with wonderful playing by Carter and his illustrious colleagues (Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Rouse on tenor, Phil Woods on alto) and lush section writing. |

| | Caltabiano Concerto for Alto Saxophone |
| | Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra was completed in 1983 and received its premiere by the San Francisco Symphony in 1986. | | | Finally, the saxophone sustains a piercing high F over stabbing orchestral chords, bringing the music to a halt. | | | This relationship is heard from the outset, where the orchestra exposes three themes: long held notes in descending minor seconds, accompanied by explosive percussion and alternating with abrasive horn fanfares; quiet falling fourths in solo strings with vibraphone; and a jazz-like figure of ascending major thirds in the winds, accompanied by the hi-hat. |
