GOUNOD Charles (1818 - 1893)
AND SAINT-SAËNS Camille (1835 - 1921)
autograph musical manuscript, Suite Concertante.
Transcription for two pianos (1886)| title and 63 folio pages
(plus a few blank pages), cloth bound.
Transcription for two pianos of Gounod's Suite Concertante, largely by Camille Saint-Saëns.
On January 14, 1886, Gounod gave to Alphonse Leduc, for 7.000 francs, the property of a Suite Concertante with piano-pedal, of which he was to give the manuscript on April 7, then a reduction for piano of the orchestra part and a transcription for two pianos (which will be fi nally realized by Saint-Saëns). It is the meeting of the young and pretty Lucie
Palicot, virtuoso of the piano-pedal, which incited Gounod to write a concertante work for this rare instrument, for which he composed three other works, and of which she is the dedicatee.
This Suite concertante [CG 526] was premiered in Bordeaux on 22 March 1887, during a concert conducted by Gounod, with Lucie Palicot at the piano-pedal: "I am delighted to have had it heard", he said| it was performed again at
Anvers on 8 December, then at Angers on 6 February 1888. It was published, along with the transcription for two pianos by Saint-Saëns, by
Alphonse Leduc in 1888.
The four parts of this Suite concertante were given titles, which do not appear on the manuscript: Entrée de fête, Chasse, Romance and Tarentelle.
The title page is written by Gounod: "à Madame L. Palicot / Suite
Concertante. Transcription for Two Pianos by [the Author biff é] C. SaintSaëns. Ch. Gounod".
GOUNOD began his transcription on Lard-Esnault paper at 16 lines| he transcribed only the first movement (pages 1 to 16). It is SAINTSAËNS who made the transcription of the other movements (pages 17 to 63), on paper with 24 lines. The manuscript presents corrections, with crossed-out measures, and collages in the 4th part. It was used for the engraving. It is divided into 4 parts:
Moderato maestoso (p. 1-16, in Gounod's hand with annotations by Saint-Saëns)|
Allegro con fuoco, then Andante con moto (p. 17-40)|
Andante cantabile (p. 41-47)|
Vivace (p. 48-63).
