Camille Saint-Saëns Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 4

Camille Saint-Saëns
Piano Concertos
Nos. 2 and 4

in Full Score

Throughout much of his long, highly productive career, Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) occupied a dominant position in French music. Admired for his masterly command of orchestration and high standards of form, style and workmanship, Saint-Saëns wrote for the piano in an elegant, virtuoso style.

In this volume, pianists and music lovers will find authoritative full-score editions of two of the composer’s most popular piano concertos, works frequently performed since their premieres, and often recorded to this day:

Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, op. 22
Piano Concerto No. 4 in C Minor, Op. 44

In the tradition of the great composer/pianists of his time, Saint-Saëns was the soloist for the premieres of both works in Paris: of No.2 in 1868, and of No.4 in 1875. The scores of these concert favorites haye been reproduced from the authoritative editions first published by Durand & Cie, Paris.
