Carl FischerThe Mechanics - Saxophone Quartet
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Carter Pann’s 2013 quartet brings soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones together in a work lasting about sixteen and a half minutes. Commissioned for the Capitol Quartet, it grew from the composer’s image of four vintage auto mechanics, marked by grit and grease, at work in a taxicab repair shop. The 76-page edition gives an established saxophone quartet a substantial piece with that specific imagined setting behind it.
Strong match

- Saxophone quartets preparing a sixteen-and-a-half-minute work for soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones
- Programs seeking a quartet commissioned for the Capitol Quartet and shaped by an automotive-shop image
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Ensembles that cannot cover soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone instrumentation
