The piano
trio version of LA MUSE
ET LE POÈTE, Op. 132 was
written by Camille
Saint-Saëns (1835-1921)
in 1910 during a vacation
to North Africa, and that
version premiered at
Queen's Hall on June 7,
1910, with Eugene Ysaÿe
on violin, Jospeh
Hollmann on cello, and
the composer at the
piano. Saint-Saëns
transcribed the version
for violin, cello and
orchestra that same year,
and the same two string
players premiered that
version on October 20 at
the Sarah Bernhardt
Theater in Paris under
Fernand Le Borne. Despite
the title (which was
later added by the
publisher to make it more
marketable), no program
is intended for the work
and neither instrument
represents either the
muse or the poet.
Saint-Saëns himself
referred to the piece as
a conversation between
the two instruments
instead of a debate
between two
virtuosos.
