Henry Eccles - Sonata for Eb Alto Saxophone and Piano (1720) Arr. Rascher

Henri Eccles (1670-1742) - Sonata for Eb Alto Saxophone and Piano (1720)
Arr. Sigurd Rascher

"Henry Eccles left behind a number of smaller works most of which were written for violin or flute; however, the most famous is his Sonata in G Minor. Though often played in transcription by violinists and especially by double bass players, this sonata was originally published for cello accompanied by figured bass. Very little is known about Henry Eccles — neither his birth nor his death date has been firmly established, ranging respectively between 1675-85 and 1735-45." - Program notes by www.ficksmusic.com
