excerpt from The Swan: Camille Saint-Saëns |
|
 |
Saint-Saëns was one of the great prodigies in music history. A brilliant pianist, he gave his first performance at the age of ten—after a demanding program, he offered to play as an encore any of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas, all of which he’d memorized. “The Swan” is from his popular work “Carnival of the Animals.” |
