Karadar - Dukas, Paul - Biografie compositori

His most famous composition is the orchestral scherzo "L'apprenti sorcier" (The Sorcerer's Apprentice), inspired by Goethe's poem Der Zauberlehrling.

A year before, in 1896, Dukas had completed his only symphony, a work that deserves more attention than it has generally received.

His acclaimed opera "Ariane et Barbe-bleu" (Ariadne and Bluebeard) was based on a play of the same name by Maeterlinck.

His last major work was a ballet, "La Péri".

Life	Studiò al Conservatorio di Parigi, sotto la guida di Duboise; iniziò a comporre in uno stile decisamente influenzato dall’estetica di Franck e Wagner, e, dopo i primi successi, acquistò grande popolarità col suo lavoro orchestrale “L’apprendista stregone”, ispirato a una ballata di Goethe. Uomo meticoloso nella scrittura, dotata di buona fantasia e di un incredibile senso dinamico e coloristico del fraseggio, ci lasciò poca musica sinfonica, qualche opera teatrale, ed anche una limitata produzione cameristica. Dal 1910, Dukas insegnò al Conservatorio di Parigi, ed ebbe molti illustri allievi, fra i quali anche Messiaen.
