For some, the tendency to think that the saxophone is an American instrument is very high, due to the fact that it is a true symbol of jazz. For others it is of Belgian origin, as its inventor was born in Dinant – Belgium. However, the saxophone originated and evolved in Paris. With a strong emotional impact, characterized by a tension of substance due to the tonal ambiguity suggested by the evolved chromaticism, “Lamento et Rondo” is the result of an advanced compositional thinking, which subjects the melody to a modulating variational work through thematic development procedures typical of the 20th century.Downloads
