A major figure in the symphonic clarinet world once sneeringly pronounced, 'No gentleman ever plays the saxophone.'

It would be inaccurate to dismiss this group as less than a first-rate chamber music ensemble comparable to the best small string ensembles. In writing his 'Octet for Wind Instruments,' Stravinsky observed, 'I remember what a great effort it cost me to establish an ensemble of eight wind instruments so that they should not overwhelm the listeners with a great display of tone.'

By virtue of the French concept of wind playing, which embodies a lighter, brighter and more incisive sound, French composers are particularly suited for writing for wind ensembles. The works by Alfred Desenclos (1912-1971) and Florent Schmitt (1870-1958) incorporated that elusive quality of transparency and the ebullience of the French school. The quartet was at its best in the snappy, articulated passages, with rapid passing back and forth among the four instruments. Adolphe Sax, a Belgian, invented the saxophone around 1840, so it was particularly fitting that Belgian composer Jean Absil's 'Quatour pour Saxophones, Op.
