There is no E-flat soprano other than the sopranino. I'm not sure whether calling the sopranino an "E-flat soprano" is outright incorrect, or merely confusing.<BR/><BR/>see<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soprano_saxophone<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopranino_saxophoneSeth Tisuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193878850743685199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-21080727351120597012007-12-08T15:17:00.000-05:002007-12-08T15:17:00.000-05:00Hey Seth,I always thought so for some reason, but ...Hey Seth,<BR/><BR/>I always thought so for some reason, but the LP says soprano and I just checked Martinelli's discography and he has soprano as well. The photo included on the insert looks more like a sopranino than a soprano, though it actually seems to be maybe midway between the two. That's why I wondered about an "Eb soprano"--maybe it's a physically smaller instrument but not so small as a sopranino?Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-42016213239174326392007-12-08T15:07:00.000-05:002007-12-08T15:07:00.000-05:00Composition 113 is my favorite from that era, too....<I>Composition 113</I> is my favorite from that era, too.

Personally, I don't think the music quite reaches the heights I'd've hoped for. It's fine, just not stellar.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-12273361915543568322007-12-06T21:10:00.000-05:002007-12-06T21:10:00.000-05:00Am I the only person appreciating your Brax musing...Am I the only person appreciating your Brax musings? Even if so I'm glad to see 'em back especially since I *finally* got my mitts on <I>Willisau</I> :woot.<BR/><BR/>I'm perplexed by your thoughts on <I>Birth Rebirth</I>: "fairly momentous" versus "never entirely taken with it"?? What is it Ollie, thumbs up or down? That was a very important record for me in that I was struggling to figure out how to enjoy Brax and the setting worked better than controlled substances as far as the light going on. As I've commented elsewhere, it was really a fertile time for Roach.Captain Hatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07663784368925841294noreply@blogger.com
