I wanted to ask something about this piece.

You know it's for orchestra? Well i heard a version for violin and piano on the radio that i'd never heard before (the piano playing a kind of orchestral reduction i think).

Has anyone else heard it? The piano part sounded amazing and quite difficult. Does anyone know of a good recording of it? And also - did Saint-Saens write this version for piano and violin or did someone else arrange it? I would love to play it someday.

Liszt wrote a piano transcription of it. It sounds pretty cool.

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music
The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
