OK I'm a relative beginner at the sax and although I sometimes like to listen to classical music and have attended a reasonable number of classical concerts I've not got any classical training whatsoever and my sight reading isn't great either.
So far on the sax I've stuck to learning blues and jazz standards and doing all the standard stuff like long tones, scales, etc, etc, but I'd like to just try a classical piece just for the experience of it. I particularly like baroch music like Bach's Brandenburg Concerto and cello suites and I like passionate and dynamic movement like in Bruch's violin concerto for example, although I'm not very well educated in classical music.
Is there a piece that someone can recommend I try that isn't too difficult and that I could find the sheet music for and have a go at (unaccompanied)?
Thanks guys
