About this arrangement

Orchestra orchestra SKU: SA.40567 Composed by Claude Debussy. This edition: Paperback. Ballet (complete), Original Works. Impressionist; French. Study score. Petrucci Library Press #40567. Published by Petrucci Library Press (SA.40567). ISBN 9781608740567. 8.5 x 11 inches.Debussy's one-act ballet, or 'Poeme danse', was given its first performance by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes on May 15, 1913 with scenery by Leon Bakst; Vaslav Nijinsky was the featured dancer and Pierre Monteux conducted. Despite the exquisitely-crafted score, the ballet's premiere was overshadowed by the riotous premiere by the same company of Stravinsky's Le sacre du printemps just two weeks later. Fortunately, Debussy's music has continued life as a concert work over the past century. The score reproduced here was first issued in Paris by Durand et Cie. at the end of 1913.
