Prelude et Saltarelle (Planel)
Movements
i Prelude ii Saltarelle
Notes
Robert Planel was a French composer, teacher and violinist and a winner of the prestigious Prix de Rome. After the Second World War he became Inspector General of the City of Paris and in this time he helped to structure the musical training institutes of the city, including co-founding the conservatoires of the Paris Region.
I believe Prelude et Saltarelle to be one of the most beautiful pieces written for the saxophone and think that it is not as widely recognised as it should be.
