William Albright - Sonata for Alto saxophone and Piano

Video recorded on 6 February 2022. Two weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the start of full-scale war.

My first „little“ exam as a student at Folkwang Universität der Künste in Prof. Evgeni Sinaiski's class. With friends of mine from Ukraine Tetiana Bielikova and Dmytro Udovichenko.

! Unfortunately on the last page of the sonata two cameras went out due to overheating in the hall. Therefore the last page can unfortunately only be heard without video.
