 After writing his first symphony at 16 he went on to write four more, along with five piano concertos, three violin concertos, two cello concertos and some 20 concertante works for soloists and orchestra.[([[https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Camille_Saint-Saens|newworldencyclopedia]])]
+===== From Swan to Dying Swan =====
+The Carnival of the Animals, written in 1886, was initially intended as a jest, and Saint-Saens was concerned that it would tarnish his name. He prohibited whole performances and only permitted the publication of one movement, The Swan, while he was still alive. After being created for famed dancer Anna Pavlova in 1905, the work became known across the world as The Dying Swan. She must have performed the piece 4,000 times.[([[https://desreponsespourvous.com/library/question/read/196334-what-is-camille-saint-saens-known-for|desreponsespourvous]])]
+===== Danse Macabre =====
+The spooky Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens was originally created for voice and piano. Thankfully, the composer rebuilt it a few years later, replacing the voice with a violin and adding the entire orchestra.[([[http://www.bruzanemediabase.com/eng/Works/Danse-macabre-Camille-Saint-Saens/(offset)/3|bruzanemediabase]])]
