Camille Saint-Saëns: Violin Concerto No. 3 in B Minor, Op. 61, for Violin and Piano – Henle Urtext Edition

Camille Saint-Saëns brought a distinctly French varnish to the Romantic concerto tradition, pairing elegant formal control with dazzling instrumental color. The Violin Concerto No. 3 in B Minor, Op. 61, is among his most enduring works for violin and orchestra, admired for its sweeping melodies, fiery technical writing, and memorable dramatic contrasts. A staple of the advanced violin repertoire, this concerto is an excellent choice for players developing expressive maturity, command of Romantic phrasing, and confident concert-stage brilliance.

This Henle Urtext edition presents Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3 in B Minor in a clear, reliable piano reduction for serious study and performance. Henle publishes this famous violin concerto as an Urtext edition, with a detailed preface on the work’s genesis and sources. This edition offers violinists and pianists a dependable score for recitals, competitions, conservatory study, concerto preparation, and advanced lessons.

Edited by Peter Jost, with piano reduction by Johannes Umbreit and violin fingering and bowing by Ernst Schliephake, this paperbound edition includes both marked and unmarked string parts. Ernst Schliephake has sought the advice of Ruggiero Ricci for the fingering and bowing marks, and Johannes Umbreit has revised the composer's estimable piano reduction to make it more playable and to meet the main requirement of an urtext edition: maximum fidelity to the original orchestral score. A valuable Henle edition for violinists, pianists, teachers, and collectors of Saint-Saëns sheet music.
