Born in Paris on 9th October 1835, Saint-Saëns was a child prodigy. He had lessons with Camille-Marie Stamaty and Alexandre Pierre François Boëly, going on to the Paris Conservatoire in 1848, where he was taught by Fromental Halévy .
He soon came to the notice - and earned the admiration of - such eminent composers as Charles Gounod, Gioacchino Rossini, Hector Berlioz, and Franz Liszt. He was appointed organist at the Madeleine (1857-1875), and taught at the École Niedermeyer from 1861 to 1865, Gabriel Fauré being one of his pupils.
Aside from these paid positions, Saint-Saëns was heavily involved in the musical world; he organised concerts of Liszt's symphonic poems, he worked to revive popular interest in earlier, especially Baroque, composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Jean-Philippe Rameau, but he also, on behalf of new French music, co-founded the Société Nationale de Musique in 1871. He also wrote on music, science, and history, and often travelled around Europe, North Africa, and South America.
Saint-Saëns was a virtuoso pianist and a prolific composer. His best-known work among general audience is Le carnaval des animaux (1886), though he forbade performances of it in his lifetime, apart from "Le cygne".
He died in Algiers on 16th December 1921.

-Hei
-Pieni kahvi.
-Tuleeko muuta?
-Tommonen vohveli tosta.
-Kahdeksan markkaa.
-Jaa nii. Mulla ei ookkaa ku tämmönen iso seteli
-Ja tuhanteen.
Mä annoin sulle tonnin setelin?
Eiks se ollu tonnin seteli?
Tonni?
Enks mä antanu tonnin?

End of the piece, piano starts play from high notes descending
Hah, isn’t that beautiful? The raindrops pitter and patter on the surface of the pond, scattering ripples, big and small, across the entire pond. Wind chimes jingled in the background, composing their own tranquil melodies, and filing the cold air with its warm tunes.
Isn’t that beautiful?
They swim slowly away from you, but you don’t chase. Each paddle of their foot leaves more ripples that get weaker and weaker as they swim away
Isn’t that beautiful?
As they slowly fade away, you stay right where they left you. Not grieving, not desperate, but an infinite sense of calm. Not sour, not salty, but a feeling of bittersweet emptiness that echoed through your mind and soul like the chimes in the rain.
Isn’t that beautiful?
You chuckle and exhale a cloud of white into the cold air.
“I guess this is goodbye.”
