La Muse et le Poete, Op. 132 - Piano Trio

The piano trio version of La Muse et le Poete, Op. 132 was written by Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) in 1910 during a vacation to North Africa, and that version premiered at Queen's Hall on June 7, 1910, with Eugene Ysaye on violin, Jospeh Hollmann on cello, and the composer at the piano.

Saint-Saens transcribed the version for violin, cello and orchestra that same year, and the same two string players premiered that version on October 20 at the Sarah Bernhardt Theater in Paris under Fernand Le Borne. Despite the title (which was later added by the publisher to make it more marketable), no program is intended for the work and neither instrument represents either the muse or the poet. Saint-Saens himself referred to the piece as "a conversation between the two instruments instead of a debate between two virtuosos."

Includes violin part, cello part, and piano score.
