Detail 01
Alto and baritone in one book
Both are E-flat instruments and read the same part, so a bari player uses this book unchanged.

Carl FischerCompatible Duets for Winds: Alto Saxophone/Baritone Saxophone Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The alto and baritone saxophone book from Carl Fischer's Compatible Duets for Winds series. One book covers both horns since they share E-flat transposition.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Sax students practicing duets with a friend on any wind instrument
- A player who doubles alto and bari and wants one book
- School sax sections drilling ensemble reading between rehearsals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tenor or soprano players, who need the B-flat book
- Anyone wanting a solo book with piano accompaniment
- Players looking for jazz etudes or improvisation material
What matters in use

Detail 02
Compatible duets
Parts are written so this book plays against the flute, clarinet, horn or trumpet books in the series.
Detail 03
Duet format
Two lines, no accompaniment. One player alone hears half the music.

E-flat transposition

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can an alto and a bari player use one copy?
They read the same part, so two players on one stand works. Two copies is easier for separate practice.
02Will this work with a clarinet player?
Yes. The clarinet book from the series is written to fit against this one.
03Is this jazz or classical?
It is standard wind duet material for reading and ensemble practice, not an improvisation or jazz etude book.
04Does my tenor sax work with this?
No. Tenor is a B-flat instrument. You need the B-flat book from the series instead.
