Notes in English:

Valse Sophie is a part of a series of works in the style of 1920s saxophone music in preparation of the composition of my opera Light Unto Ashes, a musical allegory about the life of Saxophonist Rudy Wiedoeft to a libretto by Elizabeth Kirschner. The particular work is in the style of the typical Operetta-style Waltz that was performed by instrumental soloists in recordings and concerts during the vaudeville era in the United States. The modified Rondo form (ABACA-coda) is also similar to 19th century works such as those composed by Ali Ben Sou Alle.

Notes en français :

Valse Sophie s'inscrit dans une série d'oeuvres dans le style de la musique pour Saxophones pendant les "Années folles" en preparation pour la composition de mon opéra Light Unto Ashes, une allégorie musicale sur la vie du saxophoniste Rudy Wiedoeft sur un livret d'Elizabeth Kirschner. Cette oeuvre est dans le style d'une valse d'opérette très en vogue parmi les solistes instrumentaux pendant la période vaudeville de la musique américaine. La forme d'un Rondo (ABACA-coda) rappelle également les oeuvres du 19ème siècle comme celles composées par Ali Ben Sou Alle.
