Camille Saint-Saëns - Romance, Op. 37 for Flute and Piano, edited by Ervin Monroe. Camille Saint-Saëns (1835–1921) was a remarkably versatile French composer whose elegant craftsmanship, clarity of form, and refined orchestration made him one of the leading figures of French music in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This Romance was written for flute or violin, scored for soloist with piano or soloist with orchestra. This composition in true French romantic style offers many opportunities for the performer to exhibit musicality and finesse.
