Following a disastrous concert tour of Germany in 1885-86, Saint-Saëns withdrew to a small Austrian village, where he composed The Carnival of the Animals in February 1886. It is scored for two pianos, two violins, viola, cello, double bass, flute (and piccolo), clarinet (C and B?), glass harmonica, and xylophone. From the beginning, the composer regarded the work as a piece of fun. He wrote to his publishers Durand in Paris that he was composing a work for the coming Shrove Tuesday, and confessing that he knew he should be working on his Third Symphony, but that this work was such fun (... mais c'est si amusant!). He had apparently intended to write the work for his students at the École Niedermeyer, but it was first performed at a private concert given by the cellist Charles Lebouc on Shrove Tuesday, 9 March 1886.

Great Zoological Fantasy - Urtext. Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Edited by Peter Jost. Stapled. Orchester-Bibliothek (Orchestral Library). Score and study score with the lyrics of Loriot. Symphonic poem; Romantic; Late-romantic. Part. 8 pages. Duration 22'. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 5321-19. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-5321-19).

ISBN 9790004332733. 10 x 12.5 inches.

... 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.
