A solo with piano that has worked very well for me are separate movements
from Finzi's Five Bagatelles - the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th movements. The 3rd is
entitled Carol - and is very beautiful.

Best wishes,

From the London Daily News, circa 1926:

"The saxophone is a long metal instrument bent at both ends. It is alleged
to be musical. As regards markings, the creature has a series of tiny taps
stuck upon it, apparently at random. These taps are very sensitive: when
touched they cause the instrument to utter miserable sounds suggesting
untold agony. Sometimes it bursts into tears. At either end there is a
hole. People, sometimes for no reason at all, blow down the small end of
the saxophone which then shrieks and moans."
