Saint-Saëns - Symphony 3 - mov. 2B

Saint-Saëns - Symphony 3 (with organ and piano)

opus 78 in c minor
composed in 1886

Although this symphony seems to follow the normal four-movement structure, and many recordings break it in this way, it was actually written in two movements; Saint-Saëns intended a novel two-movement symphony. The composer did note in his own analysis of the symphony, however, that while it was cast in two movements, "the traditional four movement structure is maintained".

mov. 1A: Adagio, Allegro moderato
mov. 1B: Poco Adagio
mov. 2A: Allegro moderato, Presto
mov. 2B: Maestoso, Allegro
