Preface Antonio Pasculli was born on October 13th, 1842 in Palermo. He began his career as a virtuosic oboist at the age of 14 and by the time he was 18, was professor of oboe and English horn at the Regio Conservatorio di Palermo, a position he held until he became blind in 1913. He was appointed director of the Corpo Municipale di Musica di Palermo in 1879, but due to his advancing blindness he withdrew from active concert life in 1884 and lived until 1924. Pasculli composed numerous fantasies for oboe and orchestra on themes from the operas of Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, Rossini and Verdi. His compositions were often considered to be too difficult to be performed and therefore were forgotten by oboists until modern times. Le Api for oboe and piano was first published in 1905 and was dedicated to the Conservatorio di Musica di Palermo. Although similar to Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumble Bee, Le Api was written first, and is part of the three virtuosic studies Pasculli wrote for the oboe. From a postscript to the third study we learn that these were first performed in the big hall of the Conservatorio di musica in Milan on July 14, 1874. Kenneth Tse has transcribed the work for the soprano saxophone in its original key. The long legato ties are performed with circular breathing and there is only one place where the player can take a breath (break between phrases) in the entire piece. In practising and performing Le Api IMPORTANT CAUTION 1) One must stretch and warm up the muscles thoroughly, especially the arms (all flexors and extensors of the digits and Brachioradialis) and the upper back (Trapezius and Rhomboids), before practising Le Api. This is vital! One can hurt the muscles unknowingly until it is too late. Strengthen your muscles through exercise and make sure your shoulders are pulled back. 2) One must practise it first in increments and then in sections, and not the entire piece repeatedly. Rest the muscles as often as possible. Due to the much heavier keys on the soprano saxophone, the action and the strength required are much more than the oboe. 3) Practise circular breathing separately. One must be proficient in the technique of circular breathing before performing Le Api. Plan the places where you would execute circular breathing carefully and be consistent. It is very difficult to do so unplanned. 4) Obviously, it is possible to use this piece as a finger exercise without performing it in its entirety.
