Romantic Suite - 2. Dancers

Dancers is the second volume of a set of six pieces called Romantic Suite. Composed by Robert Planel for Alto Saxophone and Piano, this second piece is for intermediate players.

In Dancers, the Piano starts on its own but is soon joined by the Saxophone. The piece is divided in five parts, the first one being the main theme which is later repeated as the last one. The tempo is quite fast on most of the piece, except for the third section.

The full set of six volumes features:
1. Italian Serenade
2. Dancers
3. Sad Song
4. Feeling Waltz
5. Christmas story
6. Muleteer’s song

Robert Planel (1908-1994) was a French musician and pedagogue.
