Descripción en Youtube:
Glazunov, Alexander (1865-1936) Quartet Opus 109 (1932) I. Allegro II. Canzona Variée III. Finale, Allegro moderato Alexander Glazunov's Quartet Op. 109 is considered to be the most important saxophone quartet of the romantic period. In a way, the piece is written in retrospect of all the great moments in musical history all the way back to Bach. Glazunov himself was exiled in Paris at the time of the quartet's composition, but his great humor, ingenuity and wit become evident in the piece. The first movement is dedicated to Wagner, Brahms and Dvoràk. The second movement, based on a Russian hymn tune, is devoted to Schumann and Chopin while the Finale is dedicated to the great J.S. Bach. Fredonia State University Fredonia Saxophone Quartet Juliet J. Rosch Recital Hall April 11, 2013 Chris Sacco - Soprano Garrett Tanner - Alto Kevin Hammill - Tenor Joseph Bennett - Baritone
