Recommended Repertoire List

This list is not by any means comprehensive. It is instead comprised of music that makes
up the canon of the classical saxophone repetoire, and as such the serious performer
should be at the very least familiar with each work.
Works with asterix ‘*’ denote Australian compositions.
