... quite
unexpectedly, kangaroos
with starched white caps
start hopping about
between the rows of
seats, offering
refreshments. The Great
Zoological Fantasy was
composed in February 1886
for a carnival concert in
Paris. After the first
concerts, Saint-Saens
prohibited all further
performances and declined
to have the work
published during his
lifetime. He was
justifiably fearful that
this occasional work
could eclipse his more
ambitious pieces. The
present Urtext edition by
Peter Jost is based
chiefly on the autograph,
which diverges in certain
essential points from the
standard first edition
available up to now.
Loriot's well-known text
is printed in the
Appendix to the
score.
