Adolphe Sax (1814-1894) Inventor of the Saxophone
Historical Excerpts from
ADOLPHE SAX AND HIS SAXOPHONE
by Léon Kochnitzky
Belgian Government Information Center ( New York, NY 1964)
It all began in Dinant, a tiny Belgian city, nestled on the right bank of
the Meuse, against a high cliff surmounted by a ruined fortress. Invasions
and wars have more than once swept through the town. And successive
generations are never given time to quite forget the horrors witnessed by
their forefathers.
Nevertheless, after each disaster and each massacre, the tenacious Belgian
people rebuilt their town. There it stands now, as it stood before 1914,
with its bulbous steeple that reminds us of a chess-pawn, or maybe some
strange musical instrument.
Dinant through the ages was famous for the characteristic products: the
hammered plate of yellow copper, called divanderie, that was the principal
source of the city's great wealth; and the couques de Dinant, kind of hard
and crisp ginger-bread, made out of great-barley flour and honey, and
molded into various shapes. Both dimmderies and couques were bright,
flaming, shining things. Would it require on the part of a conjurer more
than a touch of his wand to change these exquisite forms into sonorous,
fiery, caressing brass instruments? Some transmutation of that kind
probably happened.
