Finalizing the form

After sleeping it over, I think I'm almost set as far as form goes. I am definitely dropping the fourth movement (waltz), and I'm probably going to re-evaluate the first movement's form.

For the time being, the movements are:

I. allegro (form unspecified at this time) - soprano saxophone
II. intermezzo (cha-cha) - baritone saxophone
III. à la française (tango/galop) - tenor saxophone
IV. furioso (mambo) - alto saxophone/all saxophones

I may change my mind at a later date, but for the present time I'm going to work off of this skeleton. Below is the orches
tration again, this time with ideal number of players specified:

(1) Solo Saxophonist (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone)

(1)
Piccolo (doubling C Flute)

(4) 1st Flutes (2 players doubling Piccolo)

(4) 2nd Flutes
