Tiivistelmä
This thesis examines the saxophone and its use in classical and jazz music.
First I introduce the history of the instrument, the technical aspects of playing, the sound effects, the daily practice and the repertoire.
Second, I compare the classical and jazz styles of playing the saxophone in order to identify the differences and similarities between them.
Finally, I discuss if it is possible and useful for a classical player to learn both styles and what kind of difficulties he or she could face when doing so.
