And the likelyhood of anyone having an F sopranino sax isn't very likely either!

Shame the sax solos are played so boringly straight in nearly every recording - hardly any of the players make the most of the lip gliss up to the high Eb and do a fingered gliss, and they play the notes all exactly as written (all very precisely and 'nice') instead of making a solo out of it.

I just wish some Classical sax players would just lighten up sometimes and not play everything so boringly straight. As you probably gathered, Classical sax playing does absolutely nothing for me when played in such a rigid manner.
