Camille Saint-Seans 6 Etudes pour la Main Gauche, 6 Etudes for the Left Hand Op 135 Andrew Remillard Pianist Prelude 0:00 Fugue 2:50 Moto Perpetuo 4:47 Bouree 6:46 Elegie 10:40 Gigue 16:28 This is a set of 6 Etudes written very late in Saint-Seans’ life, yet they have a joyful exuberance to them. The set is modeled after a Baroque dance suite. It opens with a Prelude which serves as both a technical and music warm up. It is followed by a Fuge written in two voices. The third movement is marked: Moto Perpetuo which written entirely without any simultaneous notes. The fourth movement is a Bouree. The fifth movement is an Elegie, the only movement type not found in baroque dance suites. The last movement is a Gigue which marks the end of many baroque dance suites. This is a unique work in the genre of one handed piano music in that Saint-Seans doesn’t spend much time imitating two hands. Much of the music sounds very clearly for one hand.
