ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to express my sincere and deep appreciation to the many people who fielded my incessant queries and one-track mind conversations for the last two years, especially Dr. Kenneth Keaton, Dr. Laura Joella, Dr. Stuart Glazer, and my translator,
Elsa Cantor. The unbelievable support that materialized from individuals I never knew existed is testimony to the legacy left behind by the subject of this thesis. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Jean-Marie Londeix for responding to my many emails; Sophie Levy, Archivist of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de
Paris for providing me with invaluable information; Marshall Taylor for donating his letter from Paule Maurice and his experiences studying Tableaux de Provence with
Marcel Mule; Claude Delangle for Under the Sign of the Sun; James Umble for his book, Jean-Marie Londeix: Master of the Modern Saxophone; and Theodore Kerkezos for his videos of Tableaux de Provence. I want to thank Dr. Eugene Rousseau,
Professor Emeritus Jack Beeson, Sarah Field, the Clarinet and Saxophone Society of
Great Britain, Dr. Julia Nolan, Dr. Pamela Youngdahl Dees, Dr. Carolyn Bryan, and Dr.
William Street, for generously taking a call from a stranger in search of Paule Maurice.
