The only comprehensive bibliography of music for saxophone. English and French. More than 18,000 works for saxophone from 1844 to 2003-the entire lifespan of the saxophone-are cross-indexed by composer and instrumentation. Each entry includes valuable information: title, duration, year of composition, publisher, arranger, dedicatee, movement titles, and biographical and stylistic information about the composer.

Appendices include addresses of publishers and composers. This publication indexes all works listed in the previous three editions (1971, 1985, and 1994), as well as 4,000 new titles. It is an indispensable reference guide for all libraries and saxophonists.

Jean-Marie Londeix, Professor of Saxophone Emeritus at the Conservatoire National de Bordeaux (Bordeaux, France), is recognized as one of the world's foremost performers and scholars of the saxophone.
