Syrinx ~
Claude Debussy

A piece for solo flute written in 1913^[1]. PD.

Syrinx — Сиринкс

↑ "Syrinx" was originally written by Debussy without barlines or breath marks. The flautist Marcel Moyse later added these, and most publishers publish Moyse's edition. The piece was written as incidental music to the uncompleted play Psyché by Gabriel Mourey and dedicated to the flautist Louis Fleury. It was intended to be performed offstage during the play, and was originally called "Flûte de Pan". Since one of Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis had already been given that title, however, it was given its final name in reference to the myth of the amorous pursuit of the nymph Syrinx by the god Pan.
