I've looked at a lot of this wonderful website and cannot find a listing of Saint-Saens Tarantella for Flute, Clarinet and Piano, Op.6. I know it's published by Durand, Kalmus and International, but I'd just like to hear from someone who may have heard or played it. I heard the latter part of it on FM on the CBC about a week ago, and it sounded like lots of fun. I'd appreciate some input about this piece. Many thanks, Earl Thomas

The Saint-Saens Tarantella is a terrific piece, in a very French style, light as a feather. It starts out slow, but by the end it goes like the wind. Both you and the flutist need to be able to toss it off as if it were nothing, with a raised eyebrow and a little wink. If you can't make it sparkle like champagne, stay away. James Galway is great at this. Jean Pierre Rampal is even better. Heifetz made it a specialty.
By the way, it's for clarinet in A.
It's for having fun.
