Description:
Parnassius apollo is the scientific name of the Apollo butterfly (also known as the Alpine or Red Apollo). The large, white butterfly with the striking red and black eyespots is found in the Alps up to an altitude of around 2200m. Like many other arthropods, the Apollo butterfly is endangered. Human activity and habitat loss are the main threats. This problem, but also the majestic beauty of the butterfly, is addressed in this piece.
The piece PARNASSIUS APOLLO is divided into 5 larger parts:
The piece is dedicated to Marlies and Bruno Bart. Marlies Bart celebrates her 80th birthday in 2019 (the year the work was published). I wish you continued enjoyment of nature and especially, of course, of the Apollo butterfly.
Exact tempo indications have been deliberately omitted. The mallet part is optional and can be omitted.
