Massenet, Sarabande espagnole

piano solo
Original work: Jules Massenet (1842–1912), Sarabande espagnole du XVIme siècle, for small orchestra, published by Hartmann in 1875, the only surviving section from the music for Un Drame sous Philippe II, drama in four acts by Georges de Porto-Riche, played at the Théâtre de l'Odéon on 14-4-1875.
Transcription:
The probability that this transcription is by Bizet is slight, since the two published editions state that the transcription is by Massenet himself. Furthermore there is an autograph manuscript in Massenet's hand (Sotheby's, London, 29-5-2012). But the register of the Dépôt légal for 1875 assigns the transcription to Bizet.
