[…] What I did here I will never do again". Camille Saint-Saëns was justifiably proud of his Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 78, dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt. Like Beethoven's Ninth, this so-called "Organ Symphony" was commissioned by the Philharmonic Society in London, where it received its premiere on 19 May 1886. In this first scholarly-critical edition of the symphony, a great many inconsistencies and mistakes inherent in the previously used edition have been unveiled and corrected. Wind set includes: Flute (3) (Piccolo flute (1)) Oboe (2), Cor anglais, Clarinet (in B-flat) (2), Bass clarinet, Bassoon (2), Contrabassoon, Horn (4), Trumpet (3), Trombone (3), Tuba, Drums, Piano
