Phillip Sear plays Saint-Saëns' 1872 arrangement of Schumann's 'Evening Song', the last of his '12 Klavierstücke für kleine und große Kinder'.  This was a set of piano duets for 'small and big children'.  The 'Abendlied' seems to have taken on a life of its own, and has been arranged for various instruments with piano.  Saint-Saëns himself arranged it for both piano solo, and for orchestra, and Joachim Raff wrote an extended concert fantasy based on it.
