The composition ‘Prélude, Fugue et Variation en si mineur op. 18’ presented here in the arrangement for saxophone and piano or organ is the third work of the early cycle of ‘Six piéces pour grand orgue’ written between 1860 and 1862.

Paul Desmond composed the world-famous piece in 5/4 time, which is unusual for jazz pieces. This is how the piece got its name. This score has been arranged for a saxophone quartet.

This CD contains the playbacks to ‘Uwe's Blues Collection’ (N 3970).
