Description:
For a long time, Camille Saint-Saëns was reluctant to compose a chamber music work with trumpet for his friend Émile Lemoine and his chamber music association "La Trompette": "I can gladly write you a concerto for twenty-five guitars [...] but for trumpet? Impossible." Finally he gave in and wrote a Préambule in 1880 and a year later the four further movements of the "Septuor" for trumpet, two violins, viola, violoncello, double bass and piano. With its neo-baroque tonal language, the work enjoyed great popularity during Saint-Saëns' lifetime, which surprised the composer again and again.
In addition to a conducting score with introduction (English/French/German) and the critical report (English), a set of all seven individual parts is available, with two parts for trumpet in low E flat (original) and in Bb. In addition, additional string parts can be ordered individually, so that performances with double or chorus strings (as was customary in Saint-Saëns' time) are possible.
