Marcel Mule
Marcel Mule is indeed universally recognized as a modern master of the classical saxophone and spiritual heir to Adolphe Sax. His labors as arranger and transcriber became central to the development of the repertoir for the instrument. His influence attracted the attention of some of the most important composers of the day, including D Milhaud, A. Honegger and F. Schmitt whos new works consequently included the saxophone among their forces. Many of the most important figures in classical saxophone history have been Mule's disciples, including Frederick Hemke, Eugene Rousseau, Daniel Deffayet (substitute of Mule in Paris Conservatoire form 1968 to 1988) and Claude Delangle (substitute of Deffayet from 1988). Marcel Mule's virtuosity in performance was combined with a capability to extract concepts from the playing and explain them to other people. In short, apart from being a fine performer, Mule was an extraordinary teacher who was able to relate his methods most effectively. His depth of character, warmth and enthusiasm earned the affection and respect of his colleagues and students while making inestimable contributions in establishing the saxophone as a viable voice for musical expression.Daily Exercises (Exercices Journaliers) for All Saxophones after Terschak by Marcel Mule.
