Description:
Erwin Dressel (1909-1972) was one of the better-known German composers to come to prominence in the years between the two world wars. His music is very much in a post-Straussian idiom with only occasional more 20th Century touches. This Partita is in five movements (1. Prelude - Allemande; 2. Canzone; 3. Courante; 4. Pavane; 5. Gigue) and has a pronounced neo-baroque air about it, with the standard dance movements familiar from the Bach Partitas. It is a fine addition to the solo saxophone repertoire.
