Balkan joy of playing
This folk music sheet music for saxophone and piano can also be arranged for an instrumentation of your choice.
The virtuoso clarinettist Hidan Mamudov, born in 1982 in Stip, Macedonia, has arranged folk music from his homeland and other regions of the Balkans for saxophone and piano (including chord symbols) for a World Music edition from Universal Edition, which can be practiced with an exciting, original play-along version. All pieces can be performed with flexible ensembles as the mood takes you (score and parts are included on the CD). And for improvisation enthusiasts, nothing stands in the way of a playful further development of the material using phrasing and ornamentation.
The whole package with a medium level of difficulty (odd time signatures!) can also be downloaded as an audio sample directly from the Universal Edition website.
