There are no Saxophone parts in the modern orchestra. Though composers do add saxophone parts to specific pieces, saxophones are not generally included in orchestral music. This is because the saxophone is a very young instrument in a relative sense- it was invented in the 1840's, and composers were only taking the instrument seriously by the late 1800's. This is also coupled by the cancellation of saxophone instruction at the Paris Conservatory for several decades, which severely limited the availability of high quality teaching and instrumental developent.
