Improvisation 1 is no exception. Noda's compositional achievements were significantly recognised in 1973 when he was awarded the SACEM Composition Prize. Improvisation 1 was published a year later, at the height of his career. Exploiting extended techniques on the saxophone to their full potential, Noda provides a score with a written glossary. However, a significant amount of interpretation with regards to tempo, pauses and pitch bends is left to the performer. Improvisation 1 is based on Shakuhachi playing, a Japanese flute made of bamboo, tuned to the minor pentatonic scale. For all saxophonists, Noda's Improvisation 1 is an excellent, varied addition to advanced repertoires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInventory # :  48183189\u003cbr\u003eUPC:  888680788124\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  \u003cbr\u003eWidth:  9\"\u003cbr\u003eLength:  12\"\u003cbr\u003eHeight:  0.031\"\u003cbr\u003eProduct Weight:  0.1 lbs.\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages:  4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 48183189\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hal Leonard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49516520866086,"sku":"48183189","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/046f4385-9329-50f2-88fb-d12555aa019e.jpg?v=1726070643","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/improvisation-i-for-alto-sax","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
