In 1999 this work was substantially re-written, particularly the last movement. This version
was performed by John Harle and the Brodsky Quartet in June, 2001.
John Harle, with the Smith Quartet, performed the original Soprano Saxophone Quintet in
their inaugural concert at the Almeida Theatre, London; in December, 1990.
The idea behind this work was to create a unified ensemble sound as
in traditional quintet writing, such as in the numerous piano and clarinet quintets. The
work is in three contrasting movements.
