One section of it quotes Berlioz's Waltz of the Sylphs, and it also features a slowed down version of the can-can from Offenbach's Orphée aux Enfers. Its eleventh movement contains a pair of pianos practicing in the C, D flat, D, and E flat scales, and the xylophone is used to denote rattling bones in a section which includes part of its composer's Danse Macabre and is entitled "Fossils." Opening with a "Royal March," its penultimate movement, a cello solo, is sometimes published separately as "The Swan." FTP, identify this "zoological fantasy" by Camille Saint-Saens.
