Following the first private performance, Saint-Saens old friend and supporter, Franz Liszt, requested that the suite be given again. Thinking the work to be too frivolous to be considered as serious music, Saint-Saens then specifically prohibited further performances, allowing only one piece of the fourteen-section composition to be performed during his lifetime The Swan. On February 26, 1922, a little more than two months after the composer s death, the public premiere took place, and 'The Carnival of the Animals' quickly became one of Saint-Saens most popular works.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- cpyb.org\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Music Company (IMC)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968509694246,"sku":"I3716","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/50000000000I3716_d.jpg?v=1697513953","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/saint-saens-c-the-swan-from-carnival-of-the-animals","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
