Musician's or Publisher's Notes

This untouched Liszt transcription composed c. 1876 is played and recorded far less often than the 1942 Vladimir Horowitz reworking of it. Liszt expanded the Saint-Saëns tone-poem (originally for orchestra) considerably, adding in transitions between sections and writing an extended coda. Those interested in the art of piano transcription can learn a great deal by examining this masterwork.
