Chant Premier, Op. 103 is a sonata for Tenor Saxophone and Piano by Marcel Mihalovici . Introduced by some verses by the Comte de Lautréamont, this very melodious piece was dedicated to S.A.S the Prince Raigner III of Monaco and is perfect to be played in a contest or for a recital. It was commissioned by the French Cultural Council. Considered as hard, this piece was initially written for Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra. This reduction starts “Moderato”, with a tempo between 76 and 80 and requires the mastering of numerous technical aspects: trills, glissandos, accidentals and ornaments among others. The various nuances make this piece really interesting and challenging to play. Marcel Mihalovici (1898-1995) was a French-Romanian born contemporary composer, who produced numerous works, including plays, small operas, sonatas and studies.
