Paul Dukas

The Sorcerer's Apprentice Paul Dukas

Editor's Notes: This edition of Paul Dukas' "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" has been arranged for the purpose of studying the orchestration of the original work in a condensed piano/conductor score format. Some minor enharmonic adjustments were made in the arrangement of this score, primarily in cases of shifting transposing instruments back into the concert key, but also in a few instances to make the score easier to read. For ease of study, the original French tempo and technique markings were translated to their more commonly used Italian counterparts. With the exception of the Glockenspiel, all octave-transposing instruments (Piccolo, Double Bass, etc.) are written at their sounding pitch. The glockenspiel is written at the standard written pitch, two octaves lower than sounding. Lastly, the original score only utilized rehearsal numbers, not measure numbers. This score includes both the original rehearsal numbers and individual measure numbers, for ease of reference and study.
