Die franzosische Musik der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts stand ganz im Zeichen zweier Pole: Oper und Salon. Die weitgehende Missachtung der Instrumentalmusik tragt die Verantwortung fur das falsche Licht, in dem viele franzosische Meister dieser Zeit immer noch erscheinen. Unter ihnen kommt vor allem Charles-Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) grosste Bedeutung zu, dessen Auseinandersetzung mit der Gattung des Solokonzerts von weit uber die Grenzen Frankreichs hinausreichendem Einfluss war.Diese Arbeit korrigiert das heutige Bild Saint-Saens' in wesentlichen Punkten und macht deutlich, dass sein konzertantes Oeuvre zum Besten gehort, was die franzosische Romantik hervorgebracht hat.Uber den analytischen Teil hinaus, der durch zahlreiche Notenbeispiele erganzt wird, enthalt der Band die erste vollstandige Biographie des Komponisten in deutscher Sprache; ausfuhrliche Biographie, thematisches Verzeichnis der untersuchten Werke und vor allem eine chronologische Tabelle von nahezu 200 franzosischen Solokonzerten der Zeit machen den Band zu einer wertvollen Quelle fur die Musikgeschichtsschreibung des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Written by Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) in 1869, the Piano Concerto No. 3 in E-flat Major, Op. 29 follows the standard concerto form while experimenting with harmony. Premiered on November 27th, 1869, by Saint-Saëns himself at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the work was not particularly well received at the time. Today, while not as popular as Saint-Saëns' second, fourth, or fifth concertos, the third, with its balance between delicate lyricism and virtuosity, remains an important addition to the piano concerto repertoire. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.3.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Piano.

The Havanaise possibly has its roots in the friendship of the composer with the Cuban-born violinist Rafael Diaz Albertini. It is thus perfectly plausible that Saint-Saens borrowed the Cuban syncopated slow dance Habanera out of kindness towards his performance partner when he was getting ready to write a work for Diaz Albertini in 1887. Saint-Saens originally wrote a version for violin and piano, which was later followed by the orchestral version that the publisher Durand had urged him to write. Diaz Albertini, to whom the work was dedicated, gave its world premiere before other virtuosos adopted it for themselves and spread its fame throughout the world. The basis of this first Urtext edition of the piece is the first edition, which was presumably personally overseen by Saint-Saens.

Many well-known violinists such as the dedicatee Pablo de Sarasate, together later with Eugene Ysaye and Jacques Thibaud, included in their repertoires Camille Saint-Saens' concert piece composed in 1863. Even today, concert life is hard to imagine without the Introduction et Rondo capriccioso. The highly virtuosic work already inspired critics and audiences during the composer's lifetime; reported about the premiere in 1867 was: The Introduction and the Rondo capriccioso for the same instrument are both original and charming, and Maestro Sarasate, who was in his element here, admirably made the most of it. And a few years later, a music critic described the work as a kind of fantasy waltz in the Spanish style and with a most bewitching effect. After the first performances in 1867, despite success, the work's score and orchestral parts had little chance of publication due to concert companies' reluctance. In 1869 the Paris publishing house G. Hartmann merely published an arrangement for violin and piano produced by the composer's friend Georges Bizet. The orchestral score and parts were first published after the Paris publishing house Durand had acquired publication rights in 1875. The present edition published in collaboration with the G. Henle Verlag is the first critical edition of the work.

The two string quartets by Camille Saint-Saens appear here in one volume for the first time. The String Quartet No. 1 in E Minor op. 112 (1899) numbers among the composer's most successful pieces and is emblematic of the genre in the French repertoire. Here Saint-Saens displays his fully developed mastery and presents the wealth of his inspiration and musical prowess. Only three years before his death, he surprisingly composed the String Quartet No. 2 in G major op. 153 (1918) which, with its classicistic stance, represents a homage to the masters of the late eighteenth century Viennese School.In addition to the first critical edition of the two string quartets, this second volume of theOeuvres instrumentales completesde Camille Saint-Saens includes the first version of the final movementInterlude et Finalfrom the second string quartet, the fragmentary beginning of an early work for string quartet as well as the previously unknown and unpublished Adagio from Symphony No. 2 in A Minor op. 55 for string quintet. An extensive Introduction (Fr/Eng/Ger) illuminates the genesis, historical performance and reception histories of all these pieces; the Critical Report (Fr) provides information about all the sources and their variants.

“Musique française†is a series designed for students and teachers as well as professionals. These editions offer masterworks in French music, with performance suggestions and historical and stylistic commentary by noted scholars. The second half of the 19th century saw the growth in popularity of instrumental Romances. These, which one could categorise as morceaux de salon, continued the characteristics of the vocal Romance, which was born in the middle of the Age of Enlightenment and which, at the beginning of the Romantic period, had achieved great success among composers, performers and audience alike.

Shining rays stream from the 'Messe de sainte Cecile'. At first people were dazzled, then bewitched, then overcome. This is how the composer Camille Saint-Saens described his impression of what was probably Charles Gounod's best-known setting of the mass. The work written in 1855 in honor of the patron saint of church music, soon became well-known beyond the borders of France and acquired a degree of popularity like almost no other sacred composition. In the Messe de sainte Cecile, Gounod combines sublime simplicity with operatic-dramatic elements and a colorful, effective orchestration. Critical edition in proven Carus quality. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2709500.
