Born and raised in a wealthy family, his musical talent blossomed early due to his childhood musical education. Even after his family went bankrupt and his parents divorced, he received a scholarship for his talent and attended a conservatory.\u003cbr\u003e At the age of 18, he graduated from the piano department of the Moscow Conservatory with a Great Gold Medal. Scriabin, a famous composer, was his classmate in the piano department, and their talents were so exceptional that they couldn't be evaluated with just a gold medal. Rachmaninov, who was the top student, received a Great Gold Medal, and Scriabin, who was second, received a Small Gold Medal, a special evaluation. Afterward, he graduated from the composition department of the same conservatory, and that year, he performed \"Prelude (Bells)\" from \u003cem\u003eMorceaux de fantaisie\u003c\/em\u003e, Op. 3-2, at the Moscow Electrical Exhibition celebration, gaining enthusiastic popularity. It became one of Rachmaninov's representative works. Furthermore, Rachmaninov's cousin, Alexander Siloti (1863-1945), who was a pianist, composer, arranger, and conductor, featured this piece in concerts in Western Europe and America, bringing it attention outside of Moscow. Subsequently, several publishers in London released it under titles such as \"The Moscow Fire\" and \"The Last Judgment,\" and in America, it circulated as \"The Bells of Moscow.\" \"Bells\" became its later nickname, and Rachmaninov's characteristic rich chords are said to mimic the cathedral bells he heard from childhood, truly expressing the sound of \"bells.\"\u003cbr\u003e (Commentary by Marie Kikuchi)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis arrangement carefully preserves the rich sound that is characteristic of Rachmaninov. To express this rich sound, the left-hand piano part was constructed using many stopped-key notes, allowing the entire saxophone tube to resonate. It is desirable for the four saxophones, from soprano to baritone, to have a uniform sound, and the articulation must not be blurred. While this is a highly difficult arrangement with frequent use of double tonguing (triple tonguing) and altissimo, an option with reduced difficulty is available, so please do challenge this piece.\u003cbr\u003e (Compositional Commentary by Hiroki Tanaka)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"130\"\u003eTitle (Japanese)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e幻想的小品集 Op.3-2「前奏曲(鐘)」\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTitle (English)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMorceaux de fantaisie Op.3-2 \"Prelude\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSaxophone Quartet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProduct Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYMDE-0041\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eComposer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mcv-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSergei Rachmaninov\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eArranger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHiroki Tanaka\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEngraver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYuto Yamada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7:00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eYear of Arrangement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2017\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePerformance Audio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_Qw5BwyghTE\" target=\"”_blank”\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDigital (PDF) Score\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.piascore.com\/scores\/31241\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePiascore Score Store\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstrument Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth width=\"25%\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNumber of Parts\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoprano Saxophone in B-flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlto Saxophone in E-flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTenor Saxophone in B-flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBaritone Saxophone in E-flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003ePrinted scores cannot be reproduced (e.g., creating extra copies) without the copyright holder's permission.

From a young age, he received instruction in violin, viola, organ, and harmony, and graduated from organ school. Although he composed during this period, most of his works were destroyed, and he only began composing seriously after graduating from organ school. In 1875, he won the Austrian State Scholarship for five consecutive years. At this time, he caught the eye of composer Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), who was serving as a judge, and Brahms introduced Dvořák's music to a publisher. Dvořák then published numerous pieces at the request of this publisher, and his name became known throughout Europe after his \"Slavic Dances\" were highly praised in a Berlin national newspaper. The work he completed after this was \"Songs My Mother Taught Me.\"\u003cbr\u003e Dvořák subsequently received various honors, became busy with musical activities, and his name became known in America. After receiving an enthusiastic offer, he became the director of a music conservatory in America, and during this time, he left behind numerous masterpieces such as Symphony No. 9 \"From the New World\" and String Quartet \"American.\" Even after returning to his home country, he received very high appraisals from those around him, such as an offer to become the director of the Vienna Academy of Music (which he declined), honorary membership in the Vienna Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, and the directorship of the Prague Conservatory.\u003cbr\u003e \"Songs My Mother Taught Me\" is the fourth song from \"Gypsy Songs,\" Op. 55, composed in 1880, and is the most famous of Dvořák's songs. It became even more famous after violinist and composer Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) arranged and performed it for violin.

He graduated from the Paris Conservatoire with first prizes in piano, solfège, and fugue. He was awarded the Grand Prix de Rome at the young age of 19, and was known for his exceptional memory and piano skills, earning praise from Liszt himself.\u003cbr\u003e The opera \u003cem\u003eCarmen\u003c\/em\u003e, composed between 1834 and 1835, is an opéra comique. It received acclaim from Tchaikovsky, Debussy, and Saint-Saëns, and one of its notable aspects was the casting of the heroine's vocal range as mezzo-soprano, departing from the typical soprano voice for opera heroines of the time. Opéra comique is a French opera form that includes spoken dialogue in addition to singing, and is associated with the Opéra-Comique theater in Paris. As the name suggests, many works in this genre are \"comical\" and lighthearted, but \u003cem\u003eCarmen\u003c\/em\u003e is a tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e The story is based on Prosper Mérimée's novel \u003cem\u003eCarmen\u003c\/em\u003e, with a libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. It consists of four acts and is set in Spain. The protagonist is Carmen, a Gypsy woman who works in a tobacco factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarmen is arrested after a fight, but Don José, a corporal, succumbs to her seduction and lets her escape. To meet Carmen, who promised to meet him at Lillas Pastia's tavern, Don José abandons his fiancée.

This work rearranges eight pieces from the recompiled \u003cem\u003eSuite No. 1\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSuite No. 2\u003c\/em\u003e into a approximately 10-minute piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSuite No. 1\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1.

For example, the fanfare in \"Les Dragons d'Alcala\" should be played with a strong and bright tone. The harp arpeggio in the intermezzo is assigned to the alto and tenor saxophones, and it is desirable for it to sound as if a single harp is playing. Furthermore, players of vocal parts are encouraged to express themselves freely, like opera soloists, rather than strictly adhering to the score.\u003cbr\u003e (Arrangement commentary by Hirotaka
