A virtuoso piece, but not the usual fast sort - yet, if you play woodwinds, you'll realize how insanely hard this is. It might be a good etude for practicing a bunch of difficult techniques - slap-tongue, rapid alternations of range, rapid alternations of volume, an almost breathless onslaught of notes, and more.
Menne Smallenbroek Outra duvida, no caso da embocadura para pegar todas as notas como vc faz ai do agudo cai para o grave, vc deixa pega a boquilha mais para dentro ou mais para a ponta da boquilha?
Carlos Araújo This depends on the type of mouthpiece you use and your personal preferences. I personally try to maintain a fixed embouchure throughout all registers. This allows me to have a flexible sound while maintaining a homogeneous sound. Keep in mind that these are all personal trademarks and you should always try to find your own setup. good luck studying :)
Trying to learn this piece. What altissimo fingerings did you use here? And did you do some kind of special growl at the end, how did you get that 'wah wah' effect?
@SamuelFinch, I did use a growl on the last note but also a very loose form of overblowing like @Jarebear4501 stated (very similar on baritone saxophone). I'm not sure what you mean with that 'wah wah' effect. Let me know where you heard it and I will come back to that. I used various fingerings for the Altissimo register, depending the specific passage. I found these where the easiest to apply (these work well on the Yamaha YBS-62, on a different horn these fingerings might not work). For reference on the fingering numberings check out the manual of Marcus Weiss and Giorgio Netti; The Techniques of Saxophone Playing from Barenreiter. G: 1+C5 G#: 2+3 A#: C1 B: C1+C2 Hope this helps.
The slap was cool until the end. Then it was weird, I would’ve preferred it you played the low notes all the way through, so you could hear the difference between the really low notes and really high notes. Just my opinion, but great performance nonetheless!
Honestly I don't think the slap suites this piece, it's kinda boring and annoying, no offense, you should try to use it as surprise, however great performance!
6:00 is insanely cool!

its called a glissando
Shazamio Jr actually it's not a glissando
Samuel Finch it was multiphonics

This piece feels better on baritone sax than bass clarinet.
yes
:D

i think the composer intended it to be slaps all throughout
