Sonata in B Flat, K292

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 – 1791)

Saxophone Duet – Any Two Saxophones

Sonata in B flat, K292, by Mozart, arranged for Saxophone Duet (any two saxophones). This duo sonata is well known in many forms – even as a bassoon solo with piano accompaniment.  Many Mozart scholars believe it to have originally been written for two bassoons. As duos for two wind instruments were popular in Mozart’s day this is quite likely. There are also versions for bassoon and cello, clarinet and bassoon, and many transcriptions for other instruments. It was composed early in 1775 during Mozart’s visit to Munich.

With this arrangement you get:

1 saxophone duet score (C score, 12 pages, 9″ x 12″)

Saxophone parts: (8 pages each, 9″ x 12″

• 1st part for B-flat saxophone
• 1st part for E-flat saxophone
• 2nd part for B-flat saxophone
• 2nd part for E-flat saxophone

The sonata has three movements:

1. Allegro
2. Andante
3. Rondo: Allegro

This arrangement for saxophone duet is most effective when played by 2 like saxophones – especially 2 baritones – but any combination will work. This arrangement has parts for both E-flat and B-flat saxes.

The range for each saxophone part is shown below.
