This is a popular classical saxophonist here in Japan--Sorry, I forget his name...I see his CDs everywhere and I think he plays with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra as well...Don`t confuse him with Sugawa Nobuya--though they are good friends.

He`s playing on a Yamaha EX and either a S90 170 or a AL3 type piece...

He's Tanaka Yasuto sensei. He plays the baritone for Trouvere Quartet, one of best sax quartet in Japan I would say. Sugawa sensei plays the soprano. The alto player, Hikosaka sensei, I know personally. If I'm not mistaken, they all came from the same university.

They'll be holding a 20th year anniversary 3-day concert in October, but I think tickets are sold out.

BTW, will give you a ring later.

I've heard Don Sinta do this piece too. Is this piece at all published anywhere or anything? I'd like to be able to get my hands on this piece so any information about it would be great, thanks!

Everyone does their own arrangement and its been done on just about every instrument from picc to tuba...you can pick up the sheet music(violin) anywhere for a few bucks...or you can spend 25$ and get the Lemoine Muto version that Hiroshi Hara plays on his CD...

Well I mean, who is the composer for the original one.

Vittorio Monti. In fact, he composed multiple Csárdás' besides the famous one. At least of few of them work really well on the saxophone.

Trouvere one of the best in Japan? I'd say more like in the world!
