you should put stuff about the saxophone
its not very good
It doesn’t say how the sound is produced and there isn’t alot of infomation
I never knew Hector Berlioz had such a connection with the observation of the initial creation of the saxophone. Also it’s amazing that Adolphe Sax’s first creation was a bass saxophone. That’’s awesome.
Your defining a late but direct connection of the saxophone with classical music. Obviously the saxophone has a life in both classical as well as jazz music.
