One piano part works for all of the solos which include flute, oboe, english horn, Bb clarinet, alto sax, and tenor sax. All parts are in the download, too. There is a play-a-long mp3 audio file for you, too. This freebie is a shorter version of the main melody. The complete solo is also available at www.music4woodwinds.com.
