An absolutely incredible song. I'm more inclined to playing Jazz on my sax, but this song has got me back into classical. It provokes so many different emotions, it is truly one of the greatest sax songs of all time.
@@chrisoconnor9521 well you’re clearly overreacting, it was a mistake, and I acknowledge that, but you need to stop bringing up stuff from 7 months ago.
I’m a trumpet player, yesterday a guy performed this piece on my university’s winter concert and it changed my trajectory of life. I’d heard him practicing this piece too many times when I was practicing mine. But that night felt different. So humble, yet so passionate. Didn’t shed a tear but surely beautiful enough to make me think about learning sax.
This amazing piece won me 1st place in a Music competition scholarship for the Rotary club, so I'm now on to round 2! I would have never discovered this piece without this fantastic video and performance! Thank you so much George!

An actual intense saxophone piece that goes over 16th notes into the 32 notes, bending, glissandos, fast staccatoed scale raises with a main note in between each ( E C C C F C C C F# C C C G C C C G# [if that makes sense] ), calm and quiet then loud and vibratoed parts, and also resembles a violin piece...... quite *h o t*
For anybody wondering, as far as I know, this is Iturralde himself playing! :) Edit: ua-cam.com/video/FayAbYfbnvg/v-deo.html this is the original video, and from what people say, and what I know, this is Iturralde. _However,_ if you know this to be somebody else or have the original video or anything on this, please correct me! At the end of the day I’m just interested in who is playing it. Stay safe you guys. x
In preparation though for that monstrosity of a “concert”, this recording specifically helped me figure out the direction I wanted to take the piece. Thank you!
@@Yashsharma-zw9lo Yeah. The piano part is transposed to match the original solo part so you can just read off of that. Here it is. drive.google.com/file/d/0B-RggjBtnNTXWHJRaG1aR2FxTW50bUM1OWgxa3VaeXdMSUZB/view?usp=sharing
Explosivecheeze it seems like the tenor part is the exact copy of the alto part and not transposed. The piano part looks different but it isn’t an exact copy of the saxophone.
La pregunta es siguente: El titulo de esta pieza esta escrito correctamente? Si se trata de un restaurante popular hungaro entonces debe ser Csárda. Si significa algo que no esta claro, entonces seria correcto en explicarlo. Gracias.
So what's up with the melodic difference of the main melody? First it's E to c on the and of 3 but the second time, it's e to D on two and the and but not played that way. Just an interpretation choice or is something wrong with the music??
Start Slow. VERH VERY VERY slow. Like to the point that it feels stupid, then still lower it by 10 clicks. Start off with each 16th = 70BPM, then slowly speed it up by 5 clicks after you nail it at the tempo twice of three times in a row.
idk if i am the only one that can hear this but if you listen you can hear the sounds of the buttons being pressed at some parts from the alto saxophone
thats always going to happen whenever the microphone is placed close to the sax. and if you move it further away, there isnt good stereo separation. so its always a tradeoff. you wouldnt be able to hear that in a live performance because the sound of key noise doesnt carry very far. but long story short, its normal on sax recordings. a lot of people hate it, but over time we get used to it.
The cadenza is ad lib, meaning the performer makes it up themselves. For a piece like this its extremely likely that the soloist planned out exactly what they were going to play. If you're talking about the specific technique he was using, he was playing a note then playing it again using an alternate fingering to give it a different tone.
@@tyluvzcats it's not actually ad libbed, the performer was playing a written part (that's found on the soloist score), but yes the alternate fingering thing is used during the cadenza, fingers 4+5+6 for A and 5+6+C for G
Octive key first finger and third finger not putting your middle finger on the c key, that’s the top hand, bottom hand is first finger third finger with pinky on the e flat key, and also press down the b flat key, mover your bottom lip further down the reed to the thicker section, and try and try untill you hit it🤷♂️
You can do front F# assuming you have a high f sharp key, and the side Bb key and it will be really flat, but if you bend the pitch you can counter it and it's relatively easy

MF it's a PIECE!!!!!!!!!! Learn proper English.
@@chrisoconnor9521 my apologies, I forgot. I love this Piece. And don’t worry, I already know proper English.
@@saxonator6481 mf you clearly don't know English properly if you're making use of the word ''song'' to describe a purely instrumental work.

Andre Garcia Congratulations bro! I wish you my bests!
Andre Garcia dude congrats (:
wow you are an amazing musician to play this beautiful piece
If you played it well, it's pretty much an automatic win. Good to hear you didn't waste this blessing.
What a great piece for the alto sax repertoire! It has a relatively basic harmony which allows for memorable melodies and overall virtuosity.
Makes sense given a saxophonist wrote it. No one writes for an instrument better than their own instrument.
The Cadenza is absolutely insane!!!!

RIP Pedro Iturralde! 😢 🙏
I also love the shortened version of this piece

How do you know?
He’s not...
Foj Casiv, who is it playing? If you could send a link to the amazing saxophonist who performed this interpretation, that’d be amazing. Cheers, x.
Nezolika// Nessie it’s Arno Bornkamp is it not?
@@AnthonyLeighDunstan Although this is a good performance, Arno Bornkamp's version is way better :)
Who are the performers? The saxophonist is particularly excellent.
pedro iturralde
@@joelmelen estás seguro?
AccountBlizzard hes the composer
I'm not sure who is performing in this video, however please watch Maria Gmyrek's performance on youtube. She's amazing!
@@Alexia-dn3qi My two favorite performances of this are from Arno Bornkamp on alto, and Jess Gillam on soprano.
This absolutely magnificent
A gorgeous performance
Very awesome improvised cadenza. Pretty rare for classical music.
it is not improvised
This was goated
Imagine playing this in your parents living room during covid for your “senior recital” on zoom with no pianist 🥳
In preparation though for that monstrosity of a “concert”, this recording specifically helped me figure out the direction I wanted to take the piece. Thank you!
Fantastic work! Thanks for sharing!
Please, is there a transposed version for the tenor/soprano? This would be marvelous
Have you perhaps heard the saxophonist Jess Gillam play the piece? She does an amazing rendition on the soprano
I've transposed the piece myself and I could send it to you if you want
@@Yashsharma-zw9lo Yeah. The piano part is transposed to match the original solo part so you can just read off of that. Here it is. drive.google.com/file/d/0B-RggjBtnNTXWHJRaG1aR2FxTW50bUM1OWgxa3VaeXdMSUZB/view?usp=sharing

@@Yashsharma-zw9lo I transposed the piano to fit the solo so it wasn't insanely high
do you have the pdf for this?!?!?! Someone tossed my copy at a rehearsal and ive never been able to find it
here is a pdf piano+alto sax and just alto sax pt.scribd.com/document/357129327/Pedro-Iturralde-Pequena-Czarda-Para-Sax-Alto-y-Piano
@Talli Kimani dude this helped a lot. thanks man
@Talli Kimani wow, thank you so much, i now got a decent solo to learn and something to play over the summer!
Did they leave it on a seat? Bet Fletcher was mad
Descanse en paz Iturralde.
woao, counting the mistakes takes a loooong time
La pregunta es siguente:
El titulo de esta pieza esta escrito correctamente?
Si se trata de un restaurante popular hungaro entonces debe ser Csárda.
Si significa algo que no esta claro, entonces seria correcto en explicarlo.
Gracias.
Who are the saxophonist and pianist in this please?

So what's up with the melodic difference of the main melody? First it's E to c on the and of 3 but the second time, it's e to D on two and the and but not played that way. Just an interpretation choice or is something wrong with the music??

i love it!!!
maravilloso
Any tips for playing the piano run in the very first couple measures of the piece?
Start Slow. VERH VERY VERY slow. Like to the point that it feels stupid, then still lower it by 10 clicks. Start off with each 16th = 70BPM, then slowly speed it up by 5 clicks after you nail it at the tempo twice of three times in a row.
Very Latin Czardas! In any case I like it
Magic

I’m confused there too
Lots of practice and fast articulation and fast fingers

3:23 wtf how do you do that
Scoop up with your throat and lip while glissing with fingers, i know im hella late😭 thats how i did it in my musical gig
@@jobless2852 thanks I’ll try it🙏
@@SaxandRelax i have my sax lesson in 30 mins ill ask lol
@@SaxandRelax yeah thats what my teacher said
@@jobless2852 thanks man
Amazing
Not even gonna do the ending altissimo part? :o
Any tips to do the bend at 3:25
You are going to bend the pitch of the c by about a quarter tone and then switch to the b and bring the pitch back up
@@ChaChaWillis concert pitches? Cuz the bend is from G to F natural.
@@slikman19 the alto part is not in concert pitch, the piano part is
Now I am in 7th grade and going to play that piece.
RIP!
hmm maybe i should steal some of the licks for a jazz solo
It's funny how playing keys can sound notes.
the soloist is just using another fingering for A and G (it's just adding more fingers on the right hand to change the tone)
Do y’all think masego was inspired by this song?? Listen to Black Love off of Lady Lady
Any ad lib sheets?(cadenza)
it's on the soloist score
Is there a music sheet for 3:40
yes my teacher has
i wonder if i could play this on bari
Does anyone know the year of composition??
some time around 1997
I think it was 1959
Could be a hybrid of Pixinguinha and Vila-Lobos.
HELP I need help with playing altissimo g ughhh

keep a good eye.
feels like caravan kinda

the piano part is impegnative I think

Careless whisper?
Nah this is better.
