Suite for Four Saxophones - Jiří Pauer
Jiří Pauer's output for wind instruments is quite extensive, generally successful, and sought after internationally. His pieces are characterized by the pithiness of their artistic expression, clarity of form, intriguing dynamism, and vitality leaning towards robustness and straightforwardness.
Jiří Pauer drew attention to his penchant for the wind instruments as early as his studies at the Academy of Music and Drama (Prague) in the class of Pavel Bořkovec. His graduation work, Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra, became also his first piece to be performed by the Czech Philharmonic (in 1952). Apart from the Divertimento for Three Clarinets, Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra and Concerto for French Horn and Orchestra, the group of his pieces for the woodwinds composed in the 1960s includes also Wind Quintet. A few years later, pieces for brass instruments begin to predominate, including Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra, Trompettina, Trombonetta and Tubonetta, but also small-scale pieces, such as Characters for Brass Quintet (1977, premiere in 1978 in the US) and Suite for Four Saxophones (1983).
