About this exposition

During my training as a saxophonist, I have felt on many occasions a lack of knowledge in baroque music. From the very beginning, I have always had doubts about what is the most appropriate way to interpret this kind of music using an instrument that historically has no relation to the period. But is there only one way to play this music? This research is not about finding the perfect way to approach the performance of baroque music with the saxophone, but about finding my own way. Therefore, it has been necessary to understand when the historical returning of early music occurred. By discussing concepts such as "Historical Informed Performance" and "Authentic performance", and by reviewing different approaches, it has been shown that there is not just a single way to achieve a good performance. To help me find my own way, it has been necessary to delve into the experience of other saxophonists who have sought their own approach. In addition, I got in touch with the tradition of early music through the interpretation of three pieces from the period, relying on the reading of different treatises and counting on the guidance of expert teachers in the field. Finally, the differences between my interpretations before and after the learning process are shown. Although my current interpretation is susceptible to change, I feel much more comfortable and confident when performing baroque music. My results, although personal, can serve as inspiration to other musicians who want to find their own approach.
