réf. 271153 pp. of a bifolium. Octavo ca. 159 x 101 mm. Dated "Sunday." On black-bordered ivory mourning stationery. In French with translation. Saint-Saëns writes that his correspondent "has done well to be insistent" about the ending of an unidentified work and has implemented the necessary corrections. "This ending was necessary. 'L'ombre abrite' is impossible. I put 'dans l'ombre près del la fenêtre' and I substituted 'doux enfant' for 'jeune enfant'. That is obvious I know but it is a platitude. Never neither in prose nor in verse should one put a useless adjective. By finishing short and simple my piece gains a lot from this addition." Small annotation to blank final page. Slightly worn and soiled; creased at folds. "Like Mozart to whom he was often compared Saint-Saëns was a brilliant craftsman versatile and prolific who contributed to every genre of French music.

First Edition of the first version. Ratner II p. 205. Ascanio to a libretto by Louis Gallet after Paul Meurice's play Benvenuto Cellini was first performed at the Paris Opéra on 21 March 1890. "Composed in 1887-8 Ascanio makes a grand opera of a play of intrigue set in Paris in 1539. Meurice whom Saint-Saëns knew well had collaborated with Alexandre Dumas père on his novel Benvenuto Cellini published in 1843 and had fashioned a successful play from the story in 1852. To avoid confusion with Berlioz's opera the title was changed even though Cellini is still the principal character in the drama and a scene in the play where Cellini runs out of metal when casting a statue was not included. The choice of an episode from Cellini's life that took place in France at the court of François I satisfied Saint-Saëns' longstanding desire to base his operas on French history and by casting the third act as a fête at Fontainebleau a departure from Meurice's play he found an opportunity for an extensive divertissement of 12 dances very much in the spirit and to some extent in the style of French Baroque opera."

Ratner II 291 p. 134. Lesure II p. 152. Henry VIII to a libretto by Léonce Détroyat and Armand Silvestre was first performed at the Paris Opéra on 5 March 1883. "Despite Saint-Saëns' care for authenticity of period and place the music's strongest impression is of a tightly constructed score with vocal and orchestral resources skilfully deployed especially in the confrontation scenes. After Samson et Dalila this was his most successful opera widely performed in the composer's lifetime often in a reduced three-act version that simply omitted Act 3; Saint-Saëns refused to make the reductions the Opéra demanded."

Le Timbre d'argent to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré was first performed at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on February 23 1877. "Composed in 1864-5 for the Théâtre Lyrique Paris the opera was kept from the stage first by the theatre's bankruptcy then by the Franco-Prussian War and was not played until 1877. In the meantime Saint-Saëns had recomposed the dialogue to form a grand opera version which was not played until 1913. The music is enormously fluent and versatile . There are some bold scenic ideas including a theatre seen from the back of the stage and some fanciful transformations. It seems no coincidence that the opera's 18 performances in 1877 exactly coincided with Offenbach's first concentrated labours on Les contes d'Hoffmann." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.

The première of Les Barbares at the Opéra in Paris on 23 October 1901 was a great success.
