Best Answer

The first Saxophone was a bass or contra-bass instrument made in 1841 to take the place of other bass instruments, and it was used on many pieces not written especially for sax. The first piece to feature the saxophone was an 1844 version of Hector Berlioz' "Chant Sacre" which, according to the Jaques Barzun history of Berlioz was scored for two clarinets, two bugles, a small Trumpet and saxophone.

What grade is Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique?

It depends on where you are from and under what music program you are studying. In Canada, under the Royal Conservatory of Music, it is listed as a ARCT Performance piece, the whole sonata has to be played for examinations. In Australia, under the Australian Music Examinations Board, the 1st movement used to be considered a grade 7 piece. Many times a single movement of this piece is played. The first movement is quite difficult and is played only by advanced students; the second movement is slower and much simpler and is commonly played by early intermediate students; the third movement is not often played by itself, but would probably be considered intermediate in difficulty. 1st movt: Grade 8, Performance Certificate or 1st level Diploma (ATCL, ARCT or Dip. ABRSM are the main ones). 2nd movt: Grade 5/6. 3rd movt: Grade 6/7. The whole piece is easily a 1st level Diploma. Don't underestimate the 2nd movt however. In a 1st level Diploma exam it is largely considered as difficult as the 1st movt.

What kind of music is a trumpet used for?

Trumpets are used for absolutely everything. One person playing a trumpet at a soft volume can play in a room made for as few as 25 people. A trumpet with a mic on it can play with a rock band in a stadium holding 100,000 people. They're usually called to play in every setting, from weddings to recording sessions to rap music... and everything in between. Just about any style of music could involve a trumpet and not sound strange.
