?Musique française? is a series designed for students and teachers as well as professionals. These editions offer masterworks in French music, with performance suggestions and historical and stylistic commentary by noted scholars. Saint-Saëns composed this sonata for oboe and piano near the end of his life. Oboists often tackle it quite early in the course of their studies as it is relatively playable by young instrumentalists.
