L'Apprenti sorcier

Meer over het boek

L'apprenti sorcier - also widely known as The Sorcerer's Apprentice - is a symphonic poem originally subtitled as "Scherzo after a Ballad by Goethe". Inspired by Goethe's poem of the same name, Dukas' musical depiction closely follows the narrative of the original tale. Because of this, Disney animated the story for the film Fantasia which resulted in the work becoming widely known to mainstream audiences around the world. The study score offered here is a newly engraved edition meticulously prepared from the primary sources available by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr.
