Minor version of Exercise No. 1.

This exercise isolates the intervals of minor arpeggios, moving through the entire range of the saxophone and cycling through all twelve keys, repeating the exercise with the intervals inverted. It is easily extendable to support a greater range but is given here simply for the written range of the saxophone. As discussed in Practice Heuristics, the exercise works all ranges of the horn evenly, extending each arpeggio to its lowest constituent in the saxophone's range and up to its highest. It should be treated as a sound exercise, with emphasis given to intonation, evenness of tone and stability of embouchure.
