Episode 18. Sculpting the future of the Distin family.
After the successful concert held at the Herz Hall in Paris in 1844, organized by Hector Berlioz, Adolphe Sax received a visit from the Distin family. Due to the family's lack of musical virtuosity and their instruments failing to meet the necessary quality to disguise their imperfect performances, they relied on Sax to improve their musical instruments and achieve the coveted international success. However, despite Sax's assistance, the Distin family would soon betray him, disregarding their debt of gratitude towards the ingenious inventor. In 1844, a significant milestone occurred in the history of the saxophone, as it was included for the first time in an orchestral work composed by Jean-Georges Kastner: "Le Dernier Roi de Juda".
