...Debussys Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun ( this weekend ). This lyrical and evocative piece features the flute extensively throughout, making it an instant favorite for all flutists.

The man who saw everything

2008-01-06 00:00:00 by newmusicrebloggers in New Music reBlog
 
...Debussy was in a sense a super-Wagner, slightly more advanced again than Wagner. She did not realize that if Debussy was not as independent of Wagner as she herself was to suppose in a few years' time, because an artist will after all make use of the weapons he has captured to free himself finally from one whom he has momentarily defeated, he...

...Debussy. This isn't mentioned anywere, not on the LP, the CD or on many websites. So the best part of APP wasn't written by APP! To be fair, I have the Debussy version as well, and it is not as nice as this arrangement.
