Hi all,
Listening to Sugawa's splendid version of his Debussy "Rapsodie" I can't seem to figure out what edition/version he's playing (or if what he's doing is okay by performance standards [ex: could I do what he does in a recital performance]!).
I myself have two versions--one is by D&F (Durand?), and the other is the Hug & Co. (sax and piano) arrangement by Iwan Roth.
Anyway, I thought that Sugawa was playing on the latter arrangement, but things get slightly different starting from the second half of the first page. I thought Sugawa was just adding things in, but the second page is a bit different as well in that the piano takes some lines away from the saxophone; the Hug version is listed for alto saxophone and piano, so my guess is that it's not a strict adaptation from an orchestral score. Strangely enough though, I believe the Hug version and his interpretation line up in terms of measures.
I would contact him directly, but I can't seem to find his contact information on his site, nor can I read the Japanese.
Any clues?
