An in- terest in philosophy is revealed in the book on "Problems et Mysteres"; he becomes an archeologist in his "Note sur les decors de theatre dans l'antiquite romaine; and in the "Rimes familieres," and the comedy "La crampe des ecrivains" he appears in the roles of poet and of dramatist. Ill So versatile a mind as this would naturally confine itself to no one province of its chosen art, and Saint-Saens has been equally success- ful in symphony, chamber-music, piano pieces, programme music, ...and opera. We may look first at his very characteristic contributions to pure music — music without words or pro- grammes. Here the most important items are five concertos for piano, three for violin, one for violoncello; the "Trumpet Septet," an early quartet and quintet with piano, the well-known violoncello sonata, Opus 34, as well as sonatas for violin ; a fine string quar- tet; and above all, the three symphonies, at the head of which stands the Symphony in C minor with piano and organ, Opus 78.
