"In this work I gave everything I had to give. […] What I did here I will never do again".
Camille Saint-Saëns was justifiably proud of his Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 78, dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt. Like Beethoven's Ninth, this so-called "Organ Symphony" was commissioned by the Philharmonic Society in London, where it received its premiere on 19 May 1886.
In this first scholarly-critical edition of the symphony, a great many inconsistencies and mistakes inherent in the previously used edition have been unveiled and corrected.
Wind set includes: Flute (3) (Piccolo flute (1)) Oboe (2), Cor anglais, Clarinet (in B-flat) (2), Bass clarinet, Bassoon (2), Contrabassoon, Horn (4), Trumpet (3), Trombone (3), Tuba, Drums, Piano
