Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Robert Stevens. Chamber,Classical. 40 pages. SAXpress.com #1001523. Published by SAXpress.com (A0.1420092).
Fantasia In F, K. 594 by Mozart, arranged for Saxophone Quintet SAATB or SSATB. Although originally intended for "clockwork organ", this piece is also well known in arrangements for duo pianos, string quartet, orchestra, and woodwind quintet. This arrangment is for SAATB or SSATB saxophone quintet.
This amazing work was composed in the last year of Mozart's life to fulfil an unusual commission. A wealthy Viennese aristocrat, Joseph Deym von Strzitez, owned several mechanical organs (also called musical clocks). One of these was in a public exhibit dedicated to the memory of a military hero. Deym wanted new music every week for his exhibit. This Fantasia In F, K. 594 is the first of three works Mozart composed especially for it.
Mozart's original title is "Adagio and Allegro for Mechanical Organ". Although dissatisfied with the timbre of the instrument, Mozart was plesed to have Deym's money. The music itself exceeded all expectations. One newspaper reported: "Every hour one hears a suitable music which the unforgettable composer Mozart wrote especially for it. It surpasses in precision and clarity everything which was ever attempted or designed for this kind of artistic product".
Fantasia In F begins and concludes with an adagio in F minor with slow moving chords and a gently descending, "weeping" melody line. The middle section is in F major and features trumpet calls and flashy counterpoint. All players will be well occupied with this piece.
This arrangement for saxophone quintet is in the original keys of F minor and F major. The Alto Sax 1 part has long sections of 16th note passage work and requires great flexibility on the palm keys. The Soprano Sax 2 (Alto 1 sub) makes those sections much easier. An ideal solution would be to have the alto 1 player switch to soprano sax for the middle section.
