🇬🇧 The conception of this piece is based on the approach to the great diversity of the saxophone, which is an instrument with a very wide versatility. Thus, from this first conceptual idea, results a work that carries different states and even different musical languages. 🇵🇹 A concepção desta obra assenta na abordagem à grande diversidade do saxofone, sendo este um instrumento com uma versatilidade bastante alargada. Assim, dessa primeira ideia conceptual, resulta uma obra que comporta diferentes estados e até mesmo diferentes linguagens musicais.
