French composer Camille Saint-Saëns ( 9 October 1835 - 16 December 1921) created this transcription from his Samson and Delilah opera. Franz Liszt encouraged Saint-Saëns to finish the opera and also helped arrange the first production in Weimar in 1877.
In some passages Cyprien Katsaris (b. 1951) performs octaves in the right hand instead of just the written single notes. This is similar to what he did in his recordings of Beethoven's symphonies and other works. This is on one his newest albums which features music of Saint-Saëns.
The sheet music was a color scan and most of the pages were yellow from age. I converted them to grayscale for use in my video.
