Danse macabre, Op. 40: Study score - Softcover

Saint-Saëns' masterpiece was originally composed in 1872 as a song for voice and piano. It transformed and expanded into the familiar tone poem two years later for symphonic orchestra featuring a solo violin with the top E-string tuned down a half-step and a prominent part for xylophone. This newly engraved and edited study score is based on the first edition score and parts and produced in a convenient, easy-to-read size for fireside reading on Halloween nights.

Camille Saint-Saens contributed to Carnival of the Animals from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR).
