The potential for the saxophone is unlimited.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been working on the soprano saxophone for 40 years, and the possibilities are astounding. It's up to you, the only limit is the imagination.
So I'm looking to the saxophone as a resource which has its own unique set of possibilities. I'm looking to exploit them and develop them and have the fullest range of possibilities of the saxophone be known.
You can make a saxophone into an electric organ; you can do everything with it.
Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same.
Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.
The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.
You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.
Sometimes a sound gets overused. There is such a thing as a good saxophone, but it's like those fields in agriculture - they need to rest for a year or so. You need time to burn all the saxophones and start from scratch.
The other saxophones, except as solo instruments, really don't have much point in the orchestra.
Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
