Saxophone has to families, Eb Bb and C F.
Nowadays a saxophone quartet includes Bb soprano, Eb Alto, Bb Tenor, and Eb Bariton. Though, Bb bass can be found in a few wind ensemble works.

Famous pieces include Glazounov Concerto for alto saxophone and string orchestra, which is a 15 minute concerto that has no movements but three main parts. The begining part is in moderate tempo and follows by a short fast section, second parts begins slow again and leads to the third part that has a candenza in it. Toward the end, the piece reaches it's peak point but calm down right before the exciting ending. It's written in 1936.
