George Frederick Handel 's (1685-1759) Sonata No. 6 is well-known to the Violin repertoire. Therefore when French saxophonist Marcel Mule (1901-2001) arranged the popular piece for the Saxophone in 1951 it was very well-received. The Sonata No. 6 is made up of four movements: Adagio Allegro Largo and Allegro non troppo. Handel 's Sonata No. 6 was first published in 1732. Mule 's editions ensure that the Saxophone part contains the articulation phrasing and breath marks necessary to the instrument.
