Any orchestral transcription for a small ensemble is a challenge, but The Overture to the Marriage of Figaro fits almost effortlessly into the repertoire for Saxophone Quartet, and what a joy to play! Technically this is not too tricky although some neat tonguing is required and some one-handed page turns. The range of the quartet influences the selection of key and although compromises must be made, the voicing of the parts produces a musical balance and will certainly entertain both audience and players. An Alto 3 part is available to cover the Tenor part.
