Rhapsody is not a programmatic work, but one that spontaneously turns into a natural musical journey. Andre Waignein showcases and explores both the technical prowess and the expressive nature of the saxophone. The three movements take the soloist from a virtuosic arabesque to a lyrical and expressive theme before jumping back into a lively tarantella. Rhapsody for alto saxophone concludes with one final majestic, breathtaking flourish.Grade of difficulty for the soloist: 6

Een veeleisend en spannend solowerk voor altsaxofoon en orkest. Het is een spontaan stuk dat op natuurlijke wijze tot ontwikkeling komt. Daarbij gaat het op uitdagende wijze in op zowel het technische vermogen van de saxofoon alsook de expressieve kant ervan. In drie delen laat de solist zich - met virtuoze arabesken, buitengewone uitdrukkingskracht en verrassende muzikaliteit - van zijn beste kant zien. Ook de rest van het orkest komt goed aan haar trekkenen vormt een prikkelend contrast met de solist (moeilijkheidsgraad 6).

Rhapsody ist kein programmatisches Werk, sondern ein spontanes Stück, das sich ganz natürlich entfaltet und dabei sowohl das technische Potential als auch die expressive Seite des Saxophons erforscht und auslotet. In drei Satzen darf der Solist oder die Solistin mit virtuosen Arabesken glanzen und dabei die eigene Ausdruckskraft und Musikalitat unter Beweis stellen, aber auch das begleitende Orchester setzt reizvolle Kontraste in diesem anspruchsvollen und spannenden Solowerk.Schwierigkeitsgrad Solo: 6

Andre Waignein a compose cette oeuvre pour saxophone alto et orchestre (ou piano) a l'occasion de la cinquieme edition du Concours International de Saxophone Adolphe Sax. Cette rhapsodie n'est pas une oeuvre a programme, mais une oeuvre spontanee dont le developpement se dessine naturellement. Rhapsody valorise et fait reconnaitre pleinement les possibilites techniques et expressives du saxophone : virtuosite, musicalite et richesse du timbre. Illuminee par une formidable force de conviction, Rhapsody trouve sa conclusion dans une ultime envolee majestueuse et epoustouflante.Degre de difficulte pour le soliste: 6
