Paul Dukas was a central figure of French musical life, although his catalogue of works comprises less than twenty titles. Of these, only the symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is played regularly, which – to put it inelegantly – makes Dukas a “one-hit wonder”.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (French: L'Apprenti sorcier) is a symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas, completed in 1897. Subtitled "Scherzo after a ballad by Goethe", the piece was based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 1797 poem of the same name.
The Frenchman Paul Dukas belongs to that dreaded fraternity. His single claim to fame is The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which he wrote in 1897. A very methodical (read “painstakingly slow”), highly self-critical musician who destroyed many of his compositions before his death, Dukas considered himself a teacher who composed.
