By using repetition of the melody in the saxophones and clarinets it helps the ensemble build suspense. Once the tenor saxophone comes in with a solo, the performer runs through chromatic scales smoothly.

I attended David T. Wallace Jr. Saxophone concert, on March 3, 2017 at 4 pm in the Morrison Fine arts building. He was accompanied by a pianist Run Guthrie. The event was held in a choir room, and it started on time. I have never been to a saxophone or piano concert, it was a fun and new experience.
