Saint-Saens and Chopin (not at all what you think)
on: July 12, 2006, 10:34:30 PM
How many of you have heard Saint Saens's Carnival of the Animals?

Remember the Aquarium?

I heard a rumor that it's based on something by Chopin. Would anyone happen to have it?

Yeah, that's where I first heard it too.


I had a CD with Leonard Bernstein conducting, he says something about it. Unfortunately, it snapped in half.
