Japanese born Ryo Noda (b. 1948) has been hailed for his forward-looking avant-garde compositions and innovative playing techniques. Improvisation 1 is no exception. Noda's compositional achievements were significantly recognised in 1973 when he was awarded the SACEM Composition Prize. Improvisation 1 was published a year later at the height of his career. Exploiting extended techniques on the Saxophone to their full potential Noda provides a score with a written glossary. However a significant amount of interpretation with regards to tempo pauses and pitch bends is left to the performer.Improvisation 1 is based on Shakuhachi playing a Japanese Flute made of bamboo tuned to the minor pentatonic scale. For all saxophonists Noda's Improvisation 1 is an excellent varied addition to advanced repertoires.
