Franck: Piano Quintet in F Minor, FWV 7 - II. Lento, con molto sentimento


Today's Classical Corner...  César Franck!
The work premiered in 1879, with Camille Saint-Saëns playing the piano part, which Franck had written out for him with an appended note: "To my good friend Camille Saint-Saëns". A minor scandal ensued when at the piece's completion, Saint-Saëns walked off stage leaving the score open at the piano, a gesture which was interpreted as mark of disdain
