There is actually an alto piece for alto and piano listed in the Norwegian
Information Centre catalogue. I'll check the details. It is also recorded on
the Callisto label done by the Alliance of Norwegian Composers on CD but
when I tried to contact them I had no reply.
The alto is also widely used in Jazz. Those springing immediately to mind
are Hamiet Bluiett, Bill Smith and John Surman, the first and last being
primarily baritone sax players.
There was an LP with a piece by J.S. Bach for gamba played on alto with
piano. Again I'll check out the details.
