Additional info/contents 'Adventure' (Abenteuer), ein Auftragswerk von Philippe Pfisterer, Direktor des Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (CDMC), Frankreich, hat, wie vom Besteller verlangt, den gleichen Solo-Alt-Saxophonpart für drei verschiedene Begleitungen, um die Palette der Aufführungsmöglichkeiten zu erweitern: 1) Solo mit Streichorchester und Klavier, 2) Solo und Klavierauzug und 3) Solo und Blasorchester (10 Holz-, 8 Blechbläser und Schlagwerk). Der Titel hat sich während des Komponierens herauskristallisiert. Es ist Vartan Adjemian's erstes Solowerk für Saxophon, obwohl er in seinen Jazzwerken dieses Instrument oft einsetzt.
'Adventure' wurde für talentierte junge Musiker konzipiert, mit ausgeglichenem Inhalt zwischen melodischen Linien und Virtuosität, in der aktuellen Tendenz des 'crossover', wo sich diverse Stile und Genres zu einer neuen musikalischen Identität vermischen.

Commissioned by Philippe Pfisterer, Director of the Department Council for Music and Culture of Haute-Alsace (France), 'Adventure' has the same solo alto saxophone part, for three different accompaniements, as per the request of the commissioning body, which sought to maximize the work's prospective performance opportunities: 1) solo , string orchestra with piano,  2) solo and piano (reduction), and 3) solo and wind ensemble (10 woodwinds, 8 brass instruments, percussion). The title of the piece was conceived during the composition process. This is the first work for solo saxophone written by Vartan Adjemian, although he had frequently used the instrument in his jazz pieces. A special consideration was to create a piece that could be played by talented young musicians, ergo, content, melody and virtuosity had to be merged with a sense of proportionality in Adventure, which, in today's parlance, could, perhaps best be described as a 'crossover' type of work in which many different styles and genres are presented in a single entity.

'Adventure' (Aventure) est une commande de Philippe Pfisterer, Directeur du Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (France). Cette oeuvre comprend une même partie de saxophone alto solo pour trois versions d'accompagnement, comme l'a requis le commanditaire, afin d'offrir un maximum de possibilités d'exécution: 1) solo, orchestre à cordes et piano, 2) solo et réduction de piano, et 3) solo et orchestre à vent (10 bois, 8 cuivres, percussion). Le titre de la pièce s'est imposé durant le processus de composition. Il s'agit de la première oeuvre pour saxophone solo écrite par Vartan Adjemian, bien que ce dernier ait fréquemment employé cet instrument dans ses oeuvres de jazz.
'Adventure' a été conçu pour de jeunes musiciens talentueux, d'où un contenu équilibré entre lignes mélodiques et virtuosité qui, dans le langage d'aujourd'hui se situe dans la tendance 'crossover' (ou fusion), où le mélange de styles et de genres constitue une nouvelle identité musicale.
