Before Two for Solo Saxophone - C minor and B minor versions

Before Two

Erik Steighner

A brief meditation on the emotions leading up to the death of a loved one, intended as a “prelude to a prelude” preceding the Prelude from J. S. Bach’s Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor.

Includes both written-key versions: C minor for alto saxophone, to pair with Trent Kynaston’s transcription of the cello suites, and B minor for baritone saxophone, to perform in Bach’s original key.

Your download is one seven-page PDF containing both versions, title pages, and composer’s notes. Each version has two pages of music.
