What was the purpose of the alto saxophone?

Originally, the soprano was one of seven instruments in the saxophone family patented by Adolphe Sax in 1846. At that time the soprano might have taken the lead voice in a saxophone choir or served as the top woodwind voice in a military band. It has come to be used primarily as a solo instrument in jazz or popular music combos.

Because the soprano sax can sound shrill and is very difficult to play in tune, some people might say there is no good reason for Adolphe to have invented it.
