(LKM Music). The Havanaise (Habanera in French) by Camille Saint-Saens op.83 dates from 1885-87. The composer dedicated this work to Rafael Diaz Albertini, a violinist of Cuban origin. In 1888 Saint-Saens completed the orchestration of the Havanaise. This Critical Urtext Edition is based on the composer's manuscript, the first print of the violin and piano version, and to a large part, on the historic recording by the composer himself with the violinist Gabriel Willaume (1919). | Havanaise by Camille Saint-saens, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
