Works of Saint Saens include Danse macabre, the opera Samson and Delilah, Piano Concerto No. 2, Cello Concerto No. 1, Havanaise, Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, and his Symphony No. 3 better known as the Organ Symphony.
Did you known that Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova danced her showpiece “The Dying Swan” to “The Swan” from Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals? AND that the melody was inspired by the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Well known in the popular culture of the day Sarasate was mentioned in Edith Wharton's novel Age of Innocence, by Arthur Conan Doyle in a Sherlock Holmes story, The Red-Headed League, and artist James Whistler's Arrangement in Black was a portrait of Sarasate.
Erik Satie
née Éric Alfred Leslie Satie b. 5-17-1866; Honfleur, France
d. 7-1-1925; Paris (cirrhosis of the liver)
Composer and pianist Erik Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.
His Gymnopedie is considered a precursor to ambient music, focusing on the timbral characteristics of sounds, evoking an “atmospheric”, “visual” or “unobtrusive” quality.
