Students of the classical saxophone department of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music will perform chamber music pieces at the Library of Budapest Music Center. The saxophone is the result of an experiment which has been engaging the imagination of composers in the last 170 years. There were some who tried to incorporate it into the centuries-old traditions of symphonic culture – with little success – and some who realized that the saxophone predicated its own style just like the violin. The most well-known expression of this style is jazz, but the other side of the coin – if one may say so – is even more exciting. In the early 20th century, the saxophone opened up a whole new world of music that brought free thought and emotion to the forefront when composers rediscovered the versatility of the saxophone.
