When Art Marshall contacted me about Mozart, it didn't take me long to work out that I 'knew' him already.   He has published quite a collection of excellent arrangements for sax quartet (and other groups) and during the lifetime (1992-2002) of our small Saxophone ensemble "The Sax Section" we had a lot of pleasure performing his work.

Art has very kindly allowed me to include his article on arranging for sax quartet and clarinet quartet here.   I know that many Mozartists (including me) use the program for this kind of arrangement, and it is a privilege for me to be able to include some tips from a widely published professional arranger.   Here they are in PDF format, together with an interview in which he tells us of his path to becoming an arranger.
