<p>Debussy&#39;s one-act ballet, or &#39;Po&egrave;me dans&eacute;&#39;, was given its first performance by Serge Diaghilev&#39;s Ballets Russes on May 15, 1913 with scenery by L&eacute;on Bakst; Vaslav Nijinsky was the featured dancer and Pierre Monteux conducted. Despite the exquisitely-crafted score, the ballet&#39;s premiere was overshadowed by the riotous premiere by the same company of Stravinsky&#39;s <em>Le sacre du printemps</em> just two weeks later. Fortunately, Debussy&#39;s music has continued life as a concert work over the past century. The score reproduced here was first issued in Paris by Durand et Cie. at the end of 1913. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.</p>
