I am a saxophone player and I worked at a musical instrument museum for a few years and I was so impressed with the saxello we had on hand. It just had the best sound. Of course, I was blessed because our collection had about 1000 saxophones including Adolphe Sax originals, too many stenciled C mels from the 20s and 30s, Bill Clinton's LA Sax American flag that he played, Rudy Wiedoeft's saxophone, the sax that premiered the Glazunov concerto in the USA, and so many more saxes. It was a little sax heaven.

Thing is, there was a lobby against the sax at first. Causing it to be unsafe to write for it in a orchestra. When jazz appears later on, it found it's home there and wad then categorized as a pop instrument for the general public. Just like the violin in the 16th century: good for dances but not for savant music. There's a good video by "David Bruce Composer" that sums it all up!

Bizet was not the "first" composer to write for Saxophone, and it's very first pieces were not written in the 1870s. This may have been the Saxophones first introduction into the symphonic orchestra, but not the first thing that was written for the instrument. Jean Baptiste Singelee was writing for saxophone in the 1850s, and Jules Demersseman wrote his Fantaisie on an Original Theme for Saxophone and Piano in 1860. Also, scooping notes was definitely not how the Saxophone won the favor of Bizet and Sousa, or even Ravel and Rachmaninoff for that matter. That was because of virtuosic players like Sigurd Rasher, Marcel Mule, Cecil Lesson. This honestly cannot be, and should not be called a complete history of saxophone
