Camille Saint-Saëns'Le Carnaval des animaux: Facsimile Edition of the Autograph Manuscript	26/07/2018
The collection “De main de maître” showcases the facsimiles of the most prestigious scores of the Music Department of the National Library of France. Dedicated to the autograph manuscript of Camille Saint-Saëns’ famous *Carnival of the Animals* (1835-1921), this new Brepols publication sheds a distinctive light on the musician’s personality. It reveals the composer’s handwriting, all the performance directions as he noted them, but also to the playful animal drawings with which he decorated his score – a fish for “Aquarium”, the skeleton of a dinosaur for “Fossiles”, the pale blue pencil silhouette of a swan to illustrate the famous “Swan”.
