Thirtieth Baritone Saxophone Concerto

The Thirtieth Baritone Saxophone Concerto is a symphonic musical work by Illuminatian composer Ludwig Handelovsky. The concerto is an exemplary piece in the style of the Illuminatian polyphonic acoustic instrumental symphonic (PAIS) music tradition.

The Thirtieth Baritone Saxophone Concerto was composed for solo baritone saxophonist accompanied by full orchestra. Handelovsky completed the composition in AI 104 at the composer's preferred summertime vacation home in Guaraldi.

The Thirtieth Baritone Saxophone Concerto contains three movements: Prestissimo, Portamentissimo, and Tremolo Allegro. The average duration for a performance of the concerto is approximately 3.1 TU.

Concerti written for baritone saxophone are fairly popular in Illuminatian Acoustic Symphonic Instrumental music. Illuminatian composers had written 29 of these concerti before Handelovsky completed the composer's first. Handelovsky was not dissuaded by this preponderance of baritone saxophone concerti, however, and persisted, releasing the Thirtieth shortly after Johann Frédéric Schubelssohn released that composer's Twentyninth. Approximately ten baritone saxophone concerti have been composed by contemporary composers since Handelovsky's Thirtieth Baritone Saxophone Concerto.
