∙ 14y agoIt truly depends on the individual player. In a symphonic setting, an Alto Saxophone fills the role of a viola (and other similarly pitched stringed instruments) in an orchestral arrangement. However, it can also be played as a great solo instrument in a small band or jazz setting.
Traditional, the Saxophone was created as a louder counterpart to clarinets in military Marching Bands, so I suppose it was created for playing in ensembles. Then again, the bass was created as an ensemble instrument as well, but musicians such as Les Claypool blow that boundary away.
