As the Saxophone is commonly associated with the jazz style classical music for the instrument had always been lacking so when Paul Bonneau composed his Caprice en forme de Valse for solo Saxophone in 1950 it was well-received by performers and listeners of the genre. Bonneau 's composing was highly versatile ranging from over fifty film scores operettas songs and other pieces for Saxophone including a concerto. Caprice en forme de Valse however was particularly acclaimed for having no accompaniment and for its flexibility to be performed on all members of the Saxophone family. It containstypically French characteristics including chromaticism and difficult technical passages. All these elements combine to make for an enjoyable and challenging piece for saxophonists.

French composer and conductor Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Le Tombeau De Mireille in 1959. As with his other compositions Le Tombeau De Mireille for Galoubet (Pipe) Piccolo or Oboe with Tambourine Toneless Snare Drum or Piano was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor and during the summer he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However in1921 he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother in to his compositions. Le Tombeau De Mireille is a highly unusual and modern work not only in instrumentation but in its use of varying time signatures complex rhythms and a range of performance directions. The composition exploits tonality rhythm and structure amongst other aspects. However this Tomasi piece suitable for advanced instrumentalists provides an exciting alternative addition to the ensemble repertoire.

He also composed 5 ballets 10 orchestras as well as numerous music chamber works including a string concerto.

To this day Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments despite being a violinist himself. His Pièce Brève for solo Saxophone is no exception to the composer's success. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire Bozza won prizes for Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes whilst remaining a prominent composer. Composed in 1955 Bozza 's PièceBrève is to be played on the Alto Saxophone and is a virtuosic work addressing advanced features including complex rhythms chromaticism a wide range and articulation. As music educationalist Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza 's compositions 'his works reveal melodic fluency elegance of structure and a consistently sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.'
