Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade Nr. 13)

How to play it on winds

🎷 On the saxophone, every note below uses its real fingering — press the B/A/G + F/E/D keys in combination, and hold the 8va key for the upper register.

🪈 On the flute, the melody sounds one octave higher than written — the same shapes you already know, with the breath mark (◌) for the upper octave.
