From then until 2000, the genre experienced remarkable growth and development that mirrored many of the significant trends of century music. This dissertation traces the development of the sonata through a series of three recitals divided chronologically: 1928-1960 encompassing the sonata’s beginnings, 1960-1980 documenting the growth of the genre, and 1980-2000 covering the continued growth and diversification of the sonata in America. The works performed were selected from the one hundred and sixty six American saxophone sonatas documented in Jean-Marie Londeix’s A Comprehensive Guide To The Saxophone Repertoire:1844-2003. Program notes are furnished for each recital to summarize the musical content of each work, provide a biographical sketch of each composer and convey why it is a significant work in the repertoire.

  • Thomas Walsh, "A Performer's Guide to the Saxophone Music of Bernhard Heiden," D.M
    Abstract: Thomas Walsh, "A Performer's Guide to the Saxophone Music of Bernhard Heiden," D.M. doc., Indiana University, 1999. Bernhard Heiden (19 10-2000) composed ten works involving the saxophone in a variety of genres. Most significantly, his Sonata for E-fat Saxophone and Piano(1937) was the first sonata to become part of the standard repertoire for saxophone. This document provides a biographical sketch of Heiden and historical background on each of the ten pieces by Heiden that include saxophone. Heiden's four pieces for alto saxophone soloist-Sonata (1937), Diversion for Alto Saxophone and Band (1943),Solo for Alto Saxophone and Piano (1969),and Fantasia Concertantefor Alto Saxophone and Winds (1987)-are treated more thoroughly, with analyses and notes on performance. The analysis of each piece consists of a form diagram and discussion of Heiden's use of form, themes, rhythm, meter, harmony, and counterpoint. Sections titled "Performance Considerations" document the published errors in each work and provide suggestions for performance culled from interviews with Bernhard Heiden and Eugene Rousseau, and from personal observations. The other works by Heiden that include saxohone are Duo for English Horn and Alto Saxophone (193 8), Intrada for Woodwind Quintet and Alto Saxophone (1970), Partita for Orchestra (1970), Four Movementsfor Saxophone Quartet and Timpani (1976), Voyagefor Symphonic Wind Ensemble (199 I), and Four Fancies for Alto Saxophone, Marimba, and Tuba (1991).The document concludes with a summary of the compositional style characteristics found in Heiden's works for saxophone.

Mr. Wright is a student of Mr. Joseph Eckert. Sonata for Alto Saxophone in E♭ and Piano Bernhard Heiden Bernhard Heiden was born in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, and lived there until he moved to the USA in 1935. He was involved with music during his childhood in Germany, beginning his studies with piano, clarinet, and violin, but eventually specializing in piano. Heiden had an aptitude for composition, eventually starting school in 1929 at the 'old' Berlin Musikhochschule, studying composition with Paul Hindemith. During his last year of school, he won the Mendelssohn Prize in Composition. In this multi-movement work, the first movement is in full sonata form, launching into an aggressive start from the first bar. Many musical motives are presented by the saxophone and are passed around and augmented throughout the movement. Dotted rhythms are common in the more energetic sections, providing forward momentum.
