	A Faun's Afternoon - Two Essays - © Alan Edwards 1998-2001
		On another level the faun may be accused of exposing the secret mechanism which lies behind the creative process itself, by emphasising the distinction between the muse (Syrinx) and the music she inspires.
		Indeed, the faun seems uncertain whether this second nymph exists at all, referring to her as 'the other, all sighs', and suggesting that she is not so much a living entity as the shadow of her sister in the form of his own reed-pipe.
		If the poet, using the faun as his mouthpiece, wishes to reveal the indissolubility of all experience - the way in which each 'event' is inexorably linked to all others - he must first divide experience into its constituent parts: the nymph and the reeds, the real and imagined, the known and the unknown.

	Notes on Prelude to L’ apres midi d’un faune (The Afternoon of a Faun) (1894)
		Afternoon was one of the early masterpieces that established Debussy as major composer.
		By December, The Afternoon of a Faun as it is known today was given its debut in Paris.
		He decided to “sacrifice dramatic action to an expression of the long exploration of inner feelings.” Prokofiev responded to this, saying in 1913 that Debussy’s music was “not sufficiently meaty.” The rhapsodic character of the piece is established from the beginning, with the flute entrance.

	Afternoon of a Faun (ballet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ballet L'après-midi d'un faune (or The Afternoon of a Faun) was choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky for the Ballets Russes, and first performed in the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on May 29, 1912.
		The style of the ballet, in which a young faun meets several nymphs, flirts with them and chases them, was deliberately archaic.
		L'Après-midi d'un Faune is considered one of the first modern ballets and proved to be as controversial as Nijinsky's Jeux (1913) and Le Sacre du Printemps (1913).

		Claude Debussy - "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun"
		Though regarded as an iconoclastic work, Afternoon of a Faun was immediately embraced by audiences, so much so that at its premiere in 1894 the audience requested a repeat performance.
		Unlike the Afternoon of a Faun, the Rite of Spring's debut nearly twenty years later was a pandemonium of boos, catcalls and contempt.

		Prélude á l'après-midi d'un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun), one of only five works Debussy composed for orchestra, stands as a landmark of orchestral composition of the 20th century.
		Debussy described the piece: "It is really a sequence of mood painting, throughout which the desires and dreams of the faun move in the heat of the afternoon." Mallarmé, for his part, was delighted with the musical expression of his poem.

		In 1865 the Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé wrote about trying to capture in verse the fleeting sensations of dreams and memory: "I have found an intimate and peculiar manner of depicting and setting down very fugitive impressions," he wrote.
		L'Après-midi d'un faune the poem, published in 1876, is, on the surface, a depiction of the sexual fantasies of a faun, but it is also a trip across the landscape of the unconscious, full of such mythological/archetypal images as nymphs, naiads, Syrinx, Etna, and Venus.
		Faune reproduces the workings of dreams, the multiplicities of images at once glimpsed and forgotten.

	Afternoon of a Faun (poem) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		L'après-midi d'un faune (or The Afternoon of a Faun) is a poem by the French author Stéphane Mallarmé.
		It describes the sensual experiences of a faun who has just woken up from his afternoon sleep and discusses his encounters with several nymphs during the morning in a dreamlike monologue.
		Mallarmé's poem formed the inspiration for the orchestral work Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy and the ballet L'après-midi d'un faune by Vaslav Nijinsky; each of these works would be of great significance in the development of modernism in the arts.

	Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
		Stéphane Mallarmé's poem L'Après-midi d'un faune ("The Afternoon of a Faunâ), written in 1876, inspired Debussy, at about the time he turned 30, to conceive an orchestral work in three parts, to be designated respectively Prélude, Interlude and Paraphrase finale.
		A performance of such a triptych was announced for Brussels in March 1894, but it did not take place, for Debussy never got beyond the most rudimentary sketches for the second and third sections.
		The Afternoon of a Faun (all the title the piece really needs) was in fact Debussy's first significant work for orchestra, undertaken at more or less the same time as his first important ones for the stage (the opera Pelléas et Mélisande) and in the realm of chamber music (the String Quartet in G minor).
