Havanaise op. 83 for Violin and Piano-Camille Saint-Saëns' Havanaise Op.83 for Violin and Piano. Urtext edition.It is said that Camille Saint-Saëns' was inspired to write Havanaise Op.83 after observing acrackling open fire at one of the hotels where he stayed whilst on tour with the violinist Rafael Diaz Albertini in 1885.We do not know whether when writing the composition two years later the Habanera (French Havanaise)with its typical two beat dance rhythms was an allusion to the Cuban origin of his friend Albertini to whom this work is dedicated.At any rate the composition was extremely well received from the very beginning both in its original form and in the Orchestral version. Ingolf Turban kindly provided the bowings for the virtuoso Violin part.

The Havanaise possibly has its roots in the friendship of the composer with the Cuban-born violinist Rafael Diaz Albertini. It is thus perfectly plausible that Saint-Saens borrowed the Cuban syncopated slow dance Habanera out of kindness towards his performance partner when he was getting ready to write a work for Diaz Albertini in 1887. Saint-Saens originally wrote a version for violin and piano, which was later followed by the orchestral version that the publisher Durand had urged him to write. Diaz Albertini, to whom the work was dedicated, gave its world premiere before other virtuosos adopted it for themselves and spread its fame throughout the world. The basis of this first Urtext edition of the piece is the first edition, which was presumably personally overseen by Saint-Saens.
