SPLEEN III (2001) for Baritone Saxophone solo. Olga Neuwirth by Joan Martí-Frasquier published on 2021-01-16T19:06:55Z In French, the word spleen represents the state of melancholy with no defined cause or of vital distress of a person. The term was popularized by the poet Charles-Pierre Baudelaire, although it had previously been used in romanticism literature in the early 19th century. At the time, moody women were affected by spleen, a word that in German denotes someone who was continually irritable. The work was originally composed for bass clarinet and was later adapted one version for low flute and another for baritone saxophone, released in 2001. **Recorded at home in January 2021 Find out more about the classical/contemporary repertoire for baritone saxophone on the blog from my website: https://joanmf.com/jmf-blog/ Genre Baritone Saxophone
