Paul Dukas (1865-1935) was a composer who had little self-confidence and was very self-critical. As a result of this he destroyed the manuscripts of all but seven large and five small works. Luckily he kept what is now his best know composition, the symphonic scherzo L'apprenti sorcier (The Sorcerer's Apprentice). He also came very close to destroying the manuscript of his ballet music La Peri (The Fairy). This was however rescued by his friends. Thus we can still enjoy this magnificent fanfare which was originally used as an opener for the ballet. This fabulous transcription for concert band will make a great opening item for any concert.

French composer Paul Dukas (1865Â-1935) was also a critic, scholar, and teacher. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is his most famous creation, and this original compilation of Dukas's piano works is highlighted by the world-renowned music that was based upon Goethe's Faust and inspired a memorable sequence from Disney's Fantasia. The two-piano version that appears here was transcribed by the composer himself.
Suitable for intermediate and advanced pianists, this collection features four additional pieces for solo piano: Piano Sonata in E-flat minor; Prélude élégiaque; Variations, Interlude and Finale on a theme by Jean Philippe Rameau; and La plainte, au loin, du faun. Edited and introduced by renowned pianist Daniel Glover, these works were reproduced from authoritative sources.
