When Giuseppe Guttoveggio, who later changed his name to Paul Creston, composed his Opus 19 Sonata for alto saxophone and piano in 1939, he could not have imagined that it would become one of the most frequently-played works for this instrumental combination. Dedicated to American saxophonist Cecil Leeson (who Creston accompanied in the 1930s), this popular piece is studied and performed by most serious saxophonists. The following video may prove helpful to those who are beginning to study this composition, as well as those who have played or taught it for years.
