Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens arr. by Liszt pl. by Horowitz

This is an annotated or Audiographic Piano Roll that Vladimir Horowitz made for the Duo-Art Reproducing Piano around 1928. He seems to stay very close to the Liszt arrangement, but in 1942 in a Chicago Concert, he first played his own arrangement of Liszt’s arrangement. The work of Danse Macabre (or Dance of Death) is the Opus 40 of Charles Camille , and was inspired by a poem by Cazalis that described skeletons dancing in a graveyard at midnight, as Death plays his violin.
