This English edition of Jean-Michel Nectoux's collection of the
complete correspondence of Saint-SaA"ns and Faure features some 130
letters spanning the period from 1862 to 1920. Immensely
significant to the study of French music, these letters throw light
upon one of the longest-surviving friendships between two composers
in the history of music. They also contain frank exchanges of views
on such topics as the music of Wagner, Berlioz, Debussy, Franck and
others; the state of musical education in France; and other
important artistic figures of fin de siecle Paris including Puvis
de Chavannes, Rodin and Fremiet. Barrie Jones's skilful translation
of this important body of correspondence captures the often
playful, casual, but always stimulating language of both composers.
These letters are frequently the sole source for dating certain
compositions or discovering projects that were started but then
abandoned. They constitute a primary source for appreciation of
Saint-SaA"ns's and Faure's compositions, opinions and working
practices.
