Scope and Contents
The collection is comprised of over 200 letters written between 1845 and 1921. The letters are primarily written by Saint-Saëns to fellow composers, musicians, and other historical and cultural figures. A few letters are addressed to Saint-Saëns from these persons. The earliest letter in the collection was written in 1845– the same year he made his piano performance debut at age ten. The last letter dates from November of 1921 just over a month before his death in December.
