Internationally acclaimed French composer Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) followed the music traditions of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy yet implemented his own distinctive style. His Sarabande et Cortege for Bassoon and Piano displays influences of Debussy 's eschewing of tonality and Ravel 's inventive textures. These combined with Dutilleux 's unique uses of structure and pedal points create a truly riveting piece for Bassoon and Piano. Sarabande et Cortege comes at the beginning of Dutilleux 's career and was composed as part of a set of fourexam pieces for the Paris Conservatoire (1942-1950). Yet the popularity of all four pieces remains and they continue to be performed to this day. Elements like lyrical melodies and furious semiquaver passages make for an exciting piece for bassoonists.

As the title suggests this Sonatine interprets musical elements of sport. With this in mind Tcherepnine 's Sonatine is a highly amusing energetic and fun piece to play for saxophonists. Russian born composer Alexandre Tcherepnine (1899-1977) moved to Paris with his family in 1921 following the increasingly hostile political environment in Russia. During WWII Tcherepnine 's composing activities virtually stopped. However just before doing so he composed his Sonatine Sportive . The first movement interprets boxers with pulsating quavers in the piano partrepresenting a defence. Movement two suggests a rest that the two players take before the 'racing' third movement written in the form of a canon. With such stimulating and imaginative creativity Tcherepnine 's Sonatine is essential to the saxophonist's repertoire.

French composer Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the woodwind repertoire particularly for Saxophone.

'Divertissement' for Alto Saxophone and Piano reduction is made up of three movements; 1) Allegro vivo 2) Lent et doux and 3) Scherzando. Essential to the advanced saxophonists' repertoire Dubois' 'Divertissement' makes for an exciting and enjoyable performance for players andaudiences alike.
