Here's another movement from "The Carnival of the Animals" transcription.
This movement is called "Fossiles" (or fossils) and is Saint-Saens's opportunity to make fun of other music and musicians. The repeating theme is a variation of his own "Danse Macabre," which is about dancing skeletons. Into this he weaves themes used by Mozart, Rossini, and others- making a joke that these tunes are fossils/dinosaurs/out of style.
It was fun and difficult with all the fast articulation!

Every other piece in C.O.T.A. sounds representative of the animals they portray, but Fossils is just like...
Laa laa la la la.. laa laa la la la.. laa laa laa laa la la la...
Laa laa la la la.. laa laa la la la.. laa laa laa laa la la la...

I mean, it's tons of fun, but is it the "composer's commentary" section of the carnival?

Maybe so ^o^ Actually he has a few movements that are kind of silly. Among all the animals, there's this movement which just makes fun of other tunes and composers, a movement about pianists practicing scales, and he entitles a movement about donkeys "People With Long Ears." Then as you know the Finale is a goofy can-can.
