Zusammenfassung:Dedicated to the autograph manuscript of Camille Saint-Saëns' famous Carnival of the Animals (1835-1921), this volume sheds a distinctive light on the musician’s personality. Completed in February 1886, The Carnival of the Animals was created for friends and performers close to Saint-Saëns and was performed about fifteen times between 1886 and 1894 to a small audience. Because Camille Saint-Saëns feared that his "zoological fantasy" would damage his reputation, the work was published in its entirety only after his death. Since then, its immense popularity has continued to grow, so much so that it is now enjoyed by music lovers and the general public alike. Presented by Marie-Gabrielle Soret, a specialist of Camille Saint-Saëns, who provides a detailed description of the work and the context of its creation, the facsimile includes the fourteen pieces of The Carnival of the Animals. It reveals the composer’s handwriting, all the performance directions as he noted them, but also to the playful animal drawings with which he decorated his score – a fish for "Aquarium", the skeleton of a dinosaur for "Fossiles", the pale blue pencil silhouette of a swan to illustrate the famous "Swan".
