At 82 years we will not mention the importance and influence of Luis de Pablo in the musical history of Spain in the last fifty years, but it was not what caught my attention for a PhD thesis on his music, but the the large number of works including saxophone in his catalog: 25 works upon today. It is a very high number compared to what Europeans frontline composers have produced during the twentieth century and the first decade of the 21st. From all this great production, surely excel his operas, as three of his five works dedicated to this genre, the saxophone is present and also with dramatic character roles. Then we will make an analysis of the opera La señorita Cristina, and the employment of the saxophone there, with musical contributions that eleven years after its release are certainly innovative and interesting.
