Trio in B-flat Major, D471
Franz Schubert (1797 – 1828)
Saxophone Trio SAB/SAT
Trio in B-flat Major, D471 by Franz Schubert, arranged for Saxophone Trio SAB/SAT.
Like so many of Schubert's instrumental works, Trio in B-flat D471 is an incomplete composition. The string trio consists of a completed first movement marked ‘Allegro’ and only a few bars of a slower second movement. In many ways it looks back to earlier composers such as Haydn and Mozart. This transcription for saxophone trio is of the complete first movement only.
Included in this arrangement:
- Full trio score (SAT)
- Soprano Saxophone part
- Alto Saxophone part
- Tenor Saxophone part
- Baritone Saxophone part (tenor saxophone alternate)
There is one instance of altissimo in each of the soprano, alto, and baritone parts. Suggestions are given for alternate notes should that be necessary. The tenor part require no altissimo. Additionally the bari part often goes quite high in its normal range. Trio in B-flat D471 was originally scored for the usual string trio ensemble of violin, viola, and cello. This transcription is for saxophone trio: soprano, alto, and either tenor or baritone saxophones (parts are included for both). It is a straightforward example of Classical sonata-allegro form. This arrangement is in the original key of B-flat major. It is in common time (4/4) throughout. The tempo stays at 'allegro' throughout. Intermediate-advanced players should have no problems with this work.
