Introduction And Rondo Capriccioso (figure Skating Program)
The ''Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso'' in A minor (), Op. 28, is a composition for violin and orchestra written in 1863 by Camille Saint-SaĆ«ns. It was dedicated to the virtuoso violinist Pablo de Sarasate, who performed the solo violin part at the premiere in April 1867. History The ''Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso'' was originally intended to be the rousing finale to Saint-SaĆ«ns' first violin concerto, Op. 20, though its success as a solo composition at its first performance led Saint-SaĆ«ns to publish it separately. The premiere took place on 4 April 1867 at the Champs-ĆlysĆ©es, with Pablo de Sarasate playing the solo part and the composer conducting. Several arrangements of the score have been made, including for violin and piano by Georges Bizet, piano duet by Jacques Durand, and two pianos by Claude Debussy.

Opus Number
In music, the opus number is the "work number" that is assigned to a musical composition, or to a set of compositions, to indicate the chronological order of the composer's publication of that work. Opus numbers are used to distinguish among compositions with similar titles; the word is abbreviated as "Op." for a single work, or "Opp." when referring to more than one work. Opus numbers do not necessarily indicate chronological order of composition. For example, posthumous publications of a composer's juvenilia are often numbered after other works, even though they may be some of the composer's first completed works. To indicate the specific place of a given work within a music catalogue, the opus number is paired with a cardinal number; for example, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor (1801, nicknamed ''Moonlight Sonata'') is "Opus 27, No. 2", whose work-number identifies it as a companion piece to "Opus 27, No. 1" ( Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat major, 1800 ...

Claude Debussy
Achille Claude Debussy (; 22 August 1862 ā 25 March 1918) was a French composer. He is sometimes seen as the first Impressionism in music, Impressionist composer, although he vigorously rejected the term. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He originally studied the piano, but found his vocation in innovative composition, despite the disapproval of the Conservatoire's conservative professors. He took many years to develop his mature style, and was nearly 40 when he achieved international fame in 1902 with the only opera he completed, ''PellĆ©as et MĆ©lisande (opera), PellĆ©as et MĆ©lisande''. Debussy's orchestral works include ''PrĆ©lude Ć l'aprĆØs-midi d'un faune'' (1894), ''Nocturnes (Debussy), Nocturnes'' (1897ā1899 ...

Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, ''Carmen'', which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire. During a brilliant student career at the Conservatoire de Paris, Bizet won many prizes, including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1857. He was recognised as an outstanding pianist, though he chose not to capitalise on this skill and rarely performed in public.
