Summary "Musical Memories" by Camille Saint-Saëns is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on the author's childhood and formative experiences in music, touching upon the influences of his family and education. It delves into the history of music, art, and the composer’s personal insights, revealing his encounters with prominent figures and institutions in the world of music. The opening of the memoir introduces Saint-Saëns's early life, highlighting the dual influence of his mother and maternal great-aunt, both of whom played crucial roles in shaping his musical upbringing. He recalls his delicate health and the nurturing environment they provided, which encouraged his early fascination with music, even at a very young age. Saint-Saëns shares stories of his piano lessons, his blossoming talent, and formative experiences at the Conservatoire, setting the stage for a life dedicated to music and composition.
