Arrangement for Saxophone Quartet by Kateřina Pavlíková.

This expressive arrangement of Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion reveals the lyrical and deeply emotional side of tango nuevo in a rich saxophone quartet setting. Long, singing melodic lines are shared between soprano and tenor saxophones, creating a warm, blended sound full of nostalgia and introspection. The arrangement preserves the intimate, melancholic atmosphere of the original while offering beautiful voicing and smooth harmonic flow. It is ideal for advanced students and professional ensembles, and works perfectly as a contrasting slow piece within a concert program or as a touching encore. A poetic and atmospheric addition to the saxophone quartet repertoire, capturing the timeless beauty and depth of Piazzolla’s music.
