List of Recommended Repertoire for Eb Baritone saxophone
(with piano unless specified)

There is also a wealth of music available for cello and bassoon that works well on baritone. Some works for alto transfer quite well. There are also a few great pieces in my concerto list, as well as quite a few in the unaccompanied and sax/tape/electronics lists.
