Description
Adage and Arabesque, created by René Berthelot, is a four-minute composition for Alto Saxophone and Piano that demands a high level of proficiency from both instruments. The work opens with the Piano, which is subsequently joined by the Alto Saxophone after two measures. It is structured into three primary sections: Andante Cantabile, Listesso Tempo, and Andante, with the final section revisiting themes from the first movement and concluding with a Più Lento passage. René Berthelot (1903-1999) was a distinguished French cellist, conductor, composer, and musicologist, known for his extensive contributions to vocal and choral music.
