Saint-Saens could play any of Beethovenīs sonatas from memory as well as many other works when was 11.

I wonder what he could do as adult?

The recordings out there arenīt that impressive but he was very old on the other hand

He was involved in many other things then music (he was a universalgenius indeed) so he propaby didnīt practice a fraction of what Liszt did as an adult.
