Description:
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (French: L'apprenti sorcier) is a symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas, completed in 1897. The composition's musical storytelling is remarkably graphic, although for the many who have seen the Disney animation in the film Fantasia, a hearing of the piece may bring to mind Mickey Mouse. The music alone suffices to tell the tale propounded in a ballad by the great German author and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. By far the most performed and recorded of Dukas's works.
