Excerpt of the handwritten score from Claude Debussy's composition "Syrinx". Louis Fleury, the French flautist, inspired many composers who wrote specifically about him. Debussy honored him with this solo flute play, written in 1912. The reception of the work has been triumphant. The title refers to the ancient "Flûte de Pan" and Debussy reuses the sound of the flute to submit an ancient world of myths and fauns. Syrinx was written as part of incidental music to the play Psyché by Gabriel Mourey, and was originally called "Flûte de Pan" OR You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNjroFNi7mA&t=2s
