Characteristic Pieces in the Form of a Suite for Alto Saxophone and Piano was published in 1962 and remains popular in the advanced saxophonist's repertoire. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. The second movement of Characteristic Pieces in the Form of a Suite for Alto Saxophone and PianoA la Francaise reflects Dubois' compositional characteristics as well as elements of French characteristics, with a typical performance lasting about four minutes and 45 seconds. Characteristic Pieces in the Form of a Suite is essential to the advanced saxophonist's repertoire. Dubois' most famous work makes for an exciting and enjoyable performance for players and audiences alike.”
