A historic saxophone work by 20th-century German composer Hans Brehme (1904-1957) This is a demanding work of major proportions from the personal archives of the late Sigurd M. Raschèr (1907-2001), for whom the piece was composed in 1932. The sonata never reached publication despite Sigurd Raschèr’s desire and efforts during his lifetime. Now, through the cooperation of his daughter, Carina Raschèr, Ethos Publications has made this major work available in a beautifully prepared scholarly edition for the first time (published in 2007, 75 years after its was composed). Difficult; approx. 22 min.
