Claude Debussy~Syrinx for solo flute(Performed by Emmanuel Pahud)

Claude Debussy(22 August 1862 -- 25 March 1918)
Emmanuel Pahud~Flute

Claude Debussy was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel, he was one of the most prominent figures working within the field of impressionist music. This piece, composed in 1913, was written as incidental music to the uncompleted play Psyché by Gabriel Mourey. 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. Some say "Syrinx" was originally written by Debussy without barlines or breath marks[citation needed]. The flautist Marcel Moyse may have later added these, and most publishers publish Moyse's edition. The piece is dedicated to the flautist Louis Fleury.

Emmanuel Pahud was born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1970. He is now principal flute of the Berliner Philarmoniker, one of the best orchestras worldwide.
