By emphasizing Beethoven and Classical Period works, he valued the stable harmony and the contradiction in compositions. Saint-Saëns pursued a pure musical style and perfect form throughout his life. Besides, Saint-Saëns was greatly influenced by his friend Liszt in composition. The multiple identities of Saint-Saëns also influenced his composition.
