JEUX
Jeux
Jeux is the last work for orchestra written by Claude Debussy. Described as a "poème dansé", it was originally intended to accompany a ballet and was written for the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev to choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky. Debussy initially objected to the scenario, but reconsidered the commission when Diaghilev doubled the fee. Debussy wrote the score quickly, from mid-August to mid-September 1912. Robert Orledge has analysed the chronology of Debussy's composition and preserved manuscripts of the score.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Jeux
