Concerto No. 3 in B Minor, Op.61 for violin and piano by Camille Saint-Saens
Published by International Edition. Edited by Zino Francescatti
Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) was the preeminent French composer of his day--perhaps even of the Romantic Era. He revered form and craft, finding inspiration in the music of the past--yet was known for his melodic gift, invention, and harmonic adventurousness. He made important contributions to several forms, particularly for string-players.
His ''Violiin Concerto No. 3 in B minor, Op.61'' is the most enduring of his three concertos for the instrument. Written for Sarasate, it finds a balance between melodic invention, subtlety of expression, and technical prowess that has endeared generations of violinists to its music. For advanced players. Includes piano and violin parts.
MOVEMENTS:
- I. Allegro non troppo
