| Title Name | Tarentelle in A minor for Flute, Clarinet and Orchestra, Op. 6 |
|---|
| Marketing Copy | Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) wrote this Tarantelle (Tarantella), Op. 6 for flute, clarinet, and piano in 1857, and the salon piece showcases the composer's mature style despite his young age, which is not a surprise given his child prodigy status. The zesty work won universal acclaim largely due to a generous and clever ruse from the retired Rossini. Rossini, holding a party in his Parisian solon, invited Saint-Saëns to premiere the piece on April 28, 1857 with Louis Dorus on flute, Adolphe Leroy playing clarinet, and Saint-Saëns at the piano. Rossini pretended that he had written the piece and forced the young composer to sit next to him as the guests all showered praise on Rossini for the new work, only admitting to the party that Saint-Saëns had actually written it when all of the praise had already been given. Saint-Saëns orchestrated the work himself in 1879. Instrumentation: 0+Picc.2.0.2: 2.2.2.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Soli Flute & Clarinet. |
