Scaramouche - One of Milhaud's best
Scaramouche is one of Milhaud's most inspired works for keyboard. Its inspiration is drawn in part from his time in South America during World War I when he accompanied Paul Caudel on his ambassarodial posting to Brazil. Brzailian popular music provided Milhaud with much inspiration for several works including Scaramouche, particularly the third movement titled Brasiliera.

Fun, modern suite
This suite for 2 pianos manages to stay off the beaten trail without ever getting too esoteric or inaccessible. (The third movement is especially guaranteed to please audiences.) A great addition to the repertoire of any 2 piano team with a high degree of technical ability and desire to try something a little different.

This piece is very advanced, whether you play it as a piano duet or a piano and a saxophone duet. I have been playing saxophone for seven years and there are sections in this piece that even my teacher, who has been playing sax for more than 20 years and has been in the military band, cannot play up to speed. I suggest that only those who have been playing sax for more than five years attempt this piece. However, if played correctly, it is a lot of fun both for the listener and the performer.

The Perfect Song for the Advanced Player
Well...my name is Alex and I've been playing the saxophone for about 4-5 years. As of now, I'm in the 10th grade in Symphony Band, Symphony Orchestra (I also play Bassoon), and in the Jazz Band (I play Alto and the Saprano sax). I bought this song becuase it seemed very challenging and interesting at the same time. After having it for about two days, I feel in love with this song. The style of the song and teh swing it has is amazing. I would reccomend this song to ANYBODY that has at lesat 3 years of experience. At first, while still at the music store, I was very intimadated by the look of the music. It may look a little hard, but once you start, you'll catch on fast. I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS SONG!~!~!~!
