LARGHETTO

Antonio Vivaldi (1768-1741)

Arranged for Saxophone Quartet by Bruce Evans
Larghetto is a tempo direction, faster than Largo (MM ~50) but slower than
Andante (MM ~60). However, I enjoy playing the piece at a Moderato tempo, MM
76-84.
My source for this piece was a piano arrangement which did not include volume
markings, so I added them at my own choosing. Trills are used instead of mordants
because they are easier to read. Trills should always be played beginning with the
higher note.
Bruce Evans, 7 February 2009

LARGHETTO

for Saxophone Quartet SATB

Soprano Sax

In the Baroque style, trills begin on the higher note.

All notes should receive full value.
