Sommario/riassunto

A key figure in establishing an identifiable French musical style in the nineteenth century, this annotated bibliography catalogs the studies of Saint-Saens' life and works as well as examining the composer's own correspondence and essays. Included are many lesser-known writings on the composer and his music, as well as recent scholarship which re-examines his place in music history.
