Více o knize

Exploring innovative techniques in wind instrument performance, this book details a unique grafting method that allows a soprano saxophone to adopt various tone generators from different instrument families. By incorporating brass, double reed, and free reed mechanisms, it expands the saxophone's capabilities within the von Hornbostel and Sachs classification system. The text emphasizes hyper-specialization, blending acoustical insights with conservatory training and cultural traditions, ultimately fostering a new level of virtuosity and timbral diversity in wind instrument music.
