Saxophone structure

The saxophone is a metal wind instrument with buttons, whose invention dates back to the 1800s in Belgium. This instrument belongs to the clarinet family and is divided into four models: alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone, which differ in size, shape, and sound. In general, the saxophone consists of parts that include the trumpet, which is connected to the main body by an arch. Keys and their protectors are located along the main body. The work of these keys is that they close the holes on the saxophone due to being compressed and as a result, the notes are created. By moving upwards, you go reach the neck, where the opening or the mouthpiece of the instrument is located at the end. (There is no bow part in the soprano saxophone). This instrument is made of metal and usually brass, and it is not considered among the symphony orchestra instruments. Some of the most famous saxophone players include Sidney Becht, Ben Webster, Charlie Parker, Stan Getz, Michael Brecker, and Ornette Coleman.

Music in Berlin

Since the 18th century, Berlin has been an influential music center in Germany and Europe. First as an important commercial city in the Union of the Hanseatic League, then as the electoral capital of Brandenburg and the Kingdom of Prussia, then as one of the largest cities in Germany, it developed an influential musical culture that persists to this day. Berlin can be seen as a platform for the growth of a powerful choir movement that played an important role in the widespread socialization of music in Germany during the nineteenth century. Berlin has three main opera houses: The Deutsche Welle, the Berlin State Opera, and the Komichi Opera. Many important music figures were born or worked in Berlin. Composers such as Johann Joachim Quantz, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, The Gran Brothers, Wilhelm Friedmann Bach, Karl Friedrich Christian Fash, Johann Friedrich Reichart, Karl Friedrich Zelter, etc. all belong to this city. In addition, Berlin is known as the center of music theory and criticism in the eighteenth century with prominent figures such as Friedrich Wilhelm Marporg, Johann Philipp Kronberger, Quantz, and CPA Bach, whose treatises are known throughout Europe.
