Work introduction
Summer sax for alto saxophone and piano, it was commissioned by the duo Urrestarazu - Lenzin and dedicated to them.
It had its premiere inMalaga, in September 2020, in the extraordinary performance of the Saxophonist Elisa Urrestarzu Capellán and the
pianist Cornelia Lenzin.
It was the pianist, Cornelia Lenzin who, receiving the score in July, in the warmatmosphere of an Andalusian summer, chose the name Summer sax.
The beginning, flamencheggiante, written in the joy of having as interpreter an Andalusian duo who would have performed the premiere in the south of Spain, is inspired by that land rich of colors, rhythms, songs andmelodies whose origins are lost in the night of time.
The piece, deliberately jazzy, with a light atmosphere, presents its technical challenges for the saxophone accompanied by rich chords and an obstinate rhythmic pattern on the piano.
A piece that does not fail to entertain and fascinate both the listeners and the performers!
