Charles Colin was born in Cherbourg, France on June 2, 1832. He entered the Paris Conservatory and won a First Prize in Oboe in 1852 and then studied composition, winning the Second First Grand Prix de Rome in 1857 (Bizet won the First Grand Prix the same year). In 1868, he became the Professor of Oboe at the Paris Conservatory. His series of eight Solos were written for the exams of his class. He died on July 26, 1881 in Paris.
These works were published by Millereau with the instrumentation “pour hautbois ou saxophoneâ€. The saxophone part was obviously the soprano instrument in C of the “orchestral†family of C-F instruments,which are no longer in use except for the C-Melody Tenor instrument. These versions are published for the more common series of instruments in Bb and Eb. The saxophone part is the same as for the instruments in C, but the piano part is transposed to keep the ranges the same.
