Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano

An essential work in the saxophone repertoire, William Albright’s Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano was composed in 1984. At its heart is the sonata’s second movement lament for the composer George Cacioppo who died unexpectedly in 1984 and who was a profound influence on Albright’s thinking as a composer.
