Extra Information	Although Saint-Saëns' own band version (including short score) has not been found, Teller-Ratner's classification as a military band work seems to be based on a description in Saint-Saëns' letter, “Je viens d'écrire une marche à l'intention de la musique du Khédive” [I have just written a march for the Khedive's band]. (Sabina Teller-Ratner, Camille Saint-Saëns, 1835-1921: The instrumental works, pp. 247-48.)
