As a pianist, he performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the age of 14, and lat-er studied composition with Vittorio Rieti and Robert Delaney. His com-positional style features great lyricism and rhythmic energy. This three-movement sonata was dedicated to Cecil Leeson and Brian Minor, two saxophonists that were vital in enhancing the reputation of the classical saxophone in the United States. Bernhard Heiden - Solo for Alto Saxophone and Piano (1969)Bernard Heiden was a German-American composer heavily influenced by his teacher, Paul Hindemith. Heiden’s music is described by composer Nicolas Slonimsky as “neoclassical in its formal structure, and strongly polyphonic in texture; it is distinguished also by its impeccable formal balance and effective instrumentation.”This particular work was commissioned by Eugene Rousseau, a well-known saxophonist and educator, for the first meeting of the World Saxo-phone Congress, held in December of 1969. Paule Maurice - Tableaux de Provence (1955)Maurice was a French composer born in Paris. Her teachers included Jean Gallon, Noel Gallon, and Henri Busser. Throughout her time as a teacher and assistant, she has been recognized and awarded for her use of har-mony and fugues in her compositions. Tableaux de Provence (Pictures of Provence) is a five movement program-matic work dedicated to the French saxophone virtuoso, Marcel Mule. This work describes the scenery and culture of Provence, southeast France, where the Mules, Paule Maurice and her husband, and composer Pierre Lantier spent their vacation time together.      I.
