Saint-Saens
on: December 16, 2005, 06:20:02 PM
Hy guys! I'm looking for sheet of two works by Saens-Sans:

Piano concerto no.2 on g-minor (after hearing Richter I decided that I must get this
                                                   marvellous piece)

Fosills from Carnival of the animals-some not so difficult transcription for piano (it is for my friend who had to play that piece on one ocassion and it is next week)

So if somebody have maybe...

The carnival is a solo piano transcription. The fossils look OK

Perhaps the greatest challenge with Saint-Saens is to pronounce his name.

A proper Frenchman would pronounce it as a sort of nasal honking sound.

Such foolishness.  Can anyone take such a composer seriously?

I do love his Carnival of the Animals.

Does anyone have the sheet for his 5th piano concerto?  It's a cool work too!
