Widger, John: Pick & Mix: Flexible Saxophone Duets

The Piano Part (shown on one stave) is optional. It provides an easy yet highly effective (and often jazzy) accompaniment.

In some instances it may be easier to use both hands: e.g. in ‘Merry Go Round’ and ‘Waltz’. For practice purposes, the pianist may play parts I and II as a means of support, or in the absence of a second player.

In some of the duets, such as ‘Latin Combo’, the pianist may be able to play all parts together should it be necessary.

The WOODWIND and SAXOPHONE books may combine, providing duets for any type of Saxophone with Flute, Oboe, Recorder and/or Clarinet. Parts I & II are of equal importance and either may be played by any of the listed instruments.

It is recommended that the larger of the two instruments plays the lower of the two parts(!)
