Camille Saint-Sa�ns 1835-1921: A Thematic Catalogue of his Complete Works defines the achievement of this great French composer. All his musical works are presented: the well-recognized masterpieces, the childhood sketches, the unpublished compositions, and the previously unknown pieces now revealed for the first time. This comprehensive collection fully documents the composer's extraordinary contribution to the musical world. Volume 1 concentrates specifically on his Instrumental output, while the two later volumes will cover Dramatic Works and Choral & Vocal Works respectively.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"I read it at the piano, playing the examples, and emerged with a clearer picture of the man than any biography could provide...[an] excellent contribution to scholarship."--Music and Letters
"The volume itself is well organized with chapter 1 devoted to piano music, chapter 2 to organ and harmonium music, chapter 3 to chamber music, etc....Highly useful to musicologists and music students; strongly recommended for all academic libraries."--CHOICE
"There is no doubt that Ratner has admirably fulfilled her goals. She is to be congratulated on one of the most important publications in the field of nineteenth-century French music in recent years."--NOTES
