Description

Explore the musical philosophy of one of the Romantic era's greatest composers through this collection of outspoken essays on music. Charles-Camille Saint-Saens offers profound reflections on reactions and emotional responses to music, drawing from his vast experience as a celebrated composer, organist, conductor and pianist. Originally published in 1922, this Routledge revival brings back the candid insights of the man behind masterpieces including the Second Piano Concerto, Danse macabre, the opera Samson and Delilah, and The Carnival of the Animals. Saint-Saens' articulate examination of music's emotional power provides valuable perspective for musicians, music scholars and enthusiasts seeking to understand the Romantic compositional mindset and the deeper significance of his own enduring works.

Key Features

Essays by Charles-Camille Saint-Saens examine emotional and aesthetic responses to music from a Romantic-era composer's perspective.

Ideal reference material for music scholars, music historians and students exploring nineteenth-century compositional philosophy.

Insights from the composer of iconic works including Danse macabre, the Organ Symphony and Samson and Delilah inform the essays.
