Camille Saint-Saëns is a scholarly treatise on the interpretation and performance of music, particularly focusing on ancient and early music styles. Written in the early 20th century, this work emerges from the rich tradition of music theory and historical practice, positioning itself within the context of the music scene during that time. The book explores the complexities of interpreting early music, addressing the evolution of musical notation and execution practices throughout history. In this work, Saint-Saëns presents an in-depth analysis of how music has been performed over the centuries, critiquing contemporary interpretations that stray from the composers' original intentions. He discusses the evolution of musical forms and practices, including the notation used in early music, the characteristics of performance styles, and the significance of understanding historical context to execute the music authentically. Through scholarly examination and personal anecdotes, Saint-Saëns argues for a more nuanced and knowledgeable approach to performing pieces from the likes of Palestrina, Bach, and Mozart, highlighting the importance of fidelity to the composer's original style to preserve the integrity of the music.
