| Added by magataganm, 24 Apr 2012 Camille Saint-Saëns was born in Paris, France, on 9 October 1835. His father, a government clerk, died three months after his birth. He was raised by his mother, Clémence, with the assistance of her aunt, Charlotte Masson, who moved in. Masson introduced Saint-Saëns to the piano, and began giving him lessons on the instrument. At about this time, age two, Saint-Saëns was found to possess perfect pitch. "Menuet et Valse" (Opus 56) is an excellent concert work composed in 1878 for solo piano. In this the composer has very cleverly joined a minuet of classical style to a brilliant modern waltz. Although originally written for Piano, I adapted this minuet to a non-standard Woodwind quartet (Flute, Oboe, Basoon and Contrabasoon) to cover the entire range of the modern piano as well as highlight the delicate tempo and pitch depth.
