Camille Saint-Saëns

Softcover Musique francaise is a series designed for students and teachers as well as professionals. These editions offer masterworks in French music, with performance suggestions and historical and stylistic commentary by noted scholars. The second half of the 19th century saw the growth in popularity of instrumental Romances. These, which one could categorise as morceaux de salon, continued the characteristics of the vocal Romance, which was born in the middle of the Age of Enlightenment and which, at the beginning of the Romantic period, had achieved great success among composers, performers and audience alike.Softcover Musique francaise is a series designed for students and teachers as well as professionals.
