Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune

Debussy, C

Debussy's Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune is based on the poem of the same name by Stephane Mallarme, and although he was initially none too pleased that Debussy saw fit to set his poem to music, Debussy invited him to the premiere and he wrote to Debussy afterwards: 'I have just come out of the concert, deeply moved. The marvel! Your illustration of the Afternoon of a Faun, which presents a dissonance with my text only by going much further, really, into nostalgia and into light, with finesse, with sensuality, with richness.'

The main source used for this new edition for flute and piano is the original manuscript for orchestra in the Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris. As a second source and in particular as an inspiration for the piano writing is Ravel's quatre-mains version from 1910. The flute part is kept as close as possible to the original orchestra part with additional melodic wind parts added to the flute line when necessary and possible.
