Netti, Giorgio – Weiss, Marcus: The Techniques of Saxophone Playing
book
Following the enormous success of books on oboe and flute techniques, which have quickly become standard reference works, two renowned authors have written a further volume in the series, now for saxophone.
The book is intended for both performers and composers and therefore it was natural that two experts came together to work on it - the saxophonist Marcus Weiss and the composer Giorgio Netti.
The most important playing, fingering and technical possibilities in sound for soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone are systematically explained. These techniques are illustrated with the help of appropriate examples and practice instructions, and at the same time any special notational fe atures are explained.
Links to sound clips on the internet specially compiled for this book enable players to compare their own results with Marcus Weiss's recording.
The book is an essential, practical performing tool for interpreters, teachers and composers.
- Comprehensive, systematic description of all important playing techniques for contemporary music on the saxophone
- Clear explanation of special tonal effects and practice tips to try out
- With internet links to all important sound excerpts
- Tried and tested on all common makes of soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones
- Text in two languages (Ger/Eng)

In the autumn of 1923, a young man produced the first music editions of his newly founded publishing house in his parents’ living room. He named his company Bärenreiter. In the spring of 1924 when Karl Vötterle came of age, he was able to register it with the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. At first, he mainly put out folk song collections, church as well as organ music including early music by Leonhard Lechner and Heinrich Schütz, at the time primarily known in specialist circles.
During the last months of the Second World War, the publishing house in Kassel was destroyed and once more a fresh beginning had to be made. With the start of the extensive German music encyclopaedia MGG – "Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart" – as well as numerous series of scholarly-critical complete editions such as the “New Mozart Edition” and the “New Bach Edition”, the visionary founder of the publisher created the basis for the further development of Bärenreiter. The musicological editions increasingly aroused interest abroad, and Bärenreiter found itself on an expansion course.
When Karl Votterle died in 1975, his daughter Barbara took over the helm, supported by her husband Leonhard Scheuch. Under their leadership, the catalogue grew significantly and the brand BÄRENREITER URTEXT was established. Finally, in 2003, their son Clemens Scheuch joined the publisher which today he is managing together with his parents. Thus Bärenreiter has remained a family business to this day and has become a company of international standing in the world of classical music.
