Fantaisie Op. 124 (pour Violin & harpe)

Saint-Saëns’ Fantaisie for Violin and Harp, Op. 124, is representative of the general “thinning” of texture we find in the composer’s output after the mid-1890s. His piano parts became lighter, and he even replaced the piano with the thin sound of the harp in several works, including the Fantaisie, Op. 95, for harp alone and the Morceau de concert, Op. 154, for harp and orchestra, in addition to the Fantaisie, Op. 124.
