Who doesn't know this charming little collection of piano pieces for beginners? However, since Bach thought very flexibly in all of his instrumental compositions - for example, the art of the fugue was expressly not only composed for organ but was intended for different instruments to be performed - this work is almost imposing for the saxophonist.
Beginners can get their first experience in duet playing here, the melodies are so well known that you can immediately recognize and correct small mistakes. Ideal for lessons, fun for two and foreplay in small and large groups. The order of the pieces has been left as in the original, which conceptually represents a collection of individual pieces (except for the suites, which, however, do not appear in the processing). The upper part remains the same in all edited versions, because the keys are chosen in such a way that no octavings are necessary in the upper part. That the three arrangements differ only in the lower part (same procedure as Bach himself, see e.g. the two versions Polonaise 8a and 8b; Bach has left the upper part the same in different versions, changed the bass)
The keys are easy to play, but there is also variety (as in the original, which was also created for teaching purposes). No section breaks / breathing points were drawn in order to let the student find out for himself in the saxophone lessons if possible. The ties in the chorals correspond to the text (the word syllables) ("sing on saxophones"). Otherwise, the articulation corresponds to the template (with additions to the same or similar positions)
