“Every traveler has a home of his own, and he learns to appreciate it the more from his wandering.“
-Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol“
As time passes, things are in a constant state of change.
And yet, some things manage to remain, preserved as if in a time capsule.
Through Jean-Marie Londeix‘s teachings, we know that peddlers selling various services and things on the streets of Paris would sing a small jingle, only a few tones, and that Claude Debussy actually captured some of these tones when he composed his saxophone Rapsodie.
Similarly, Andreas van Zoelen discovered in the pads of one of his Adolphe Sax saxophones some old cardboard, containing echoes of the time of the inventor in Paris.
The RSQ performs works on older saxophones written by composers of today, and we simultaneously are in the company of the masters of yesterday.
Speaking of older, did you spot the painting something almost resembling an old castle in today‘s video?
A well-versed saxophonist will tell you how this journey connects a video about Claude Debussy with Claude Monet and with Maurice Ravel!
