Saint-Saëns Introduction et Rondo capriccioso op 28

The Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso for Violin and Orchestra was
originally intended to be the rousing Finale to Saint-Saëns' first
violin concerto, op 20. Saint-Saens' favorite violinist Pablo de
Sarasate gave the first performance in 1867 in Paris with the Composer
conducting. In 1869 Saint-Saëns entrusted his younger colleague
Georges Bizet to create a reduction of the orchestra score for Violin
and Piano. The composer's autograph score and the first edition of the
work were the primary source material for this publication.
