French composer Paul Dukas (1865–1935) 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: 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.
