About Claude Debussy's Six épigraphes antiques - for solo piano
The origin of the Épigraphes is the incidental music Debussy wrote in 1901 to the Chansons de Bilitis, a collection of erotic poetry in the manner of Sappho by Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925).
About fifteen years later, retaining only about half of the original music, he reworked the incidental score (for two flutes, two harps, and celesta), first into a work for four-hand piano, then into a version for piano solo.
