If you're refering to the woodwind part sounding like the finale of Mozart's Symphony no. 41, then yes, it is very similar, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Saint-Saens quoted Mozart. This theme is quite common in works of the classical era, appearing in a number of symphonies by Haydn and in other of Mozart's works as well. According to Wikipedia, the theme has been around since as early as the 13th century, appearing in some religious hymns, so who's to say that Mozart didn't quote it himself?
Wasn't he 15 when he composed this?
You’re correct
Wait is that a Mozart quotation 2:08

It's gotta be, it's too close.
There is a mistake at bar 8. Cello and basses should be B instead of D. Nice piece though, thanks for sharing
sounds like Haydn
Second
