Abstract [sv]

I det här arbetet har jag sett på Fernande Decrucks Sonate en Ut# och utforskat saxofonens position i den klassiska musiktraditionen. Sonate en Ut# är en sonat för saxofon (eller viola) och orkester av den franska kvinnliga organisten och kompositören Fernande Decruck (1896–1954). Syftet med arbetet var att som saxofonist instudera och interpretera sonaten och att reflektera över saxofonen som klassiskt instrument. Saxofon är ett träblåsinstrument skapat av den belgiska instrumentmakaren Adolphe Sax, som tog patent på instrumentet i 1846. Trots att saxofonens klassiska repertoar är relativt stor har inte saxofonen fått fullständigt genomslag som ett klassiskt instrument och räknas ofta som ett jazzinstrument. Under mitt arbete har jag använt mig av partitur, en inspelning, litterära källor och nätresurser till analysen och agogiska tekniker till instuderingen. Jag upptäckte att saxofonen har potential att fungera i ett klassiskt samspel med rätt teknik och att saxofonen har potential att föra den klassiska musiken framåt.

Abstract [en]

In this study I have looked at Fernande Decruck's Sonate en Ut# and explored the position of the saxophone in the classical music tradition. Sonate en Ut# is a sonata for saxophone (or viola) and orchestra by the French female organist and composer Fernande Decruck (1896-1954). The purpose of the study was to interpret the sonata as a saxophonist and to reflect on the saxophone as a classical instrument. The saxophone is a woodwind instrument created by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax, who took out a patent for the instrument in 1846. Although the saxophone's classical repertoire is relatively large, the saxophone has not gained full recognition as a classical instrument and is often considered a jazz instrument. During my study I have used scores, a recording, literary sources and online resources for the analysis and agogic techniques for the interpretive work. I discovered that the saxophone has the potential to work in a classical ensemble with the right technique and that the saxophone has the potential to move classical music forward.
