Product Description

Dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt, the composer's friend and mentor, Saint-Saëns' Symphony No. 3 ("Organ") ranks among the most important contributions to French symphonic music. In this work, Saint-Saëns achieves a synthesis of the traditional four-movement symphony with Liszt's characteristic thematic metamorphosis.

Customer Reviews

Amazing score for an amazing piece5
The full score for CSS's organ symphony is very well arranged, easy to read, and is of good quality. It is really a steal at that price and is good enough for review or study. I used it to transcribe the piece to another instrument. For an orchestra you would need to have the piece-wise score for each instrument which obviously costs much more, but this is a good alternative for simpler applications, is great for a conductor or for transcribing, and is perfect for the casual reader. Very durable too.

Organ Score Smashes!4
In an era where good manuscripts are expensive and somewhat difficult to obtain, Dover has made available the consummate example of organ and symphony in harmony. With easy readablity and the trademark 'lay-flat' binding, Dover allows easy access to all parts of the score with little confusion. A must for all who enjoy listening to this piece as well as those who study scores and instumental relationships.
