Eb
Sopranino saxophone
It seems like transposing flute and piccolo trumpet music is the order
of the day for sopranino players. There simply isn't much original
music out there yet for this increasingly popular instrument. Some
alto saxophone and Eb clarinet music works well, and baroque pieces
for recorder, oboe, or trumpet often sound great!
Some suitable pieces can be also be found in the unaccompanied and
sax/tape/electronics lists.

Mezzo-soprano saxophone
English horn music usually works beautifully on the mezzo, as does
some French horn repertoire. Here are a few original works for the
sadly and unjustly neglected mezzo.

Nothing much in the way of original music exists for these undeservedly
obsolete instruments. Oboe, flute, violin, and vocal music are all
sources for pieces to play, however. Be creative!
