Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Saint-Saëns dedicated his Allegro appassionato, Op 43, in 1873 to cellist Jules Lasserre and orchestrated it in 1876. It is an uncomplicated piece in scherzo form, with a main tune that has a gypsy feel to it revealing, in one writer’s words, the ‘dark edges that haunt so many of his melodies’.       Notes by Roger Nichols
