Carnival 2
Go to the Guildown Soundcloud page to listen to all of Carnival 2
Scored for two pianos, strings, clarinet, flute and xylophone, Carnival 2 takes Saint Saens famous Carnival of the Animals as its inspiration. The piano parts vary in difficulty but are at a similar level to the Saint Saens original and the most difficult movements could be managed by secure Grade 8 pianists.
