Description

The Belgian violinist Eugene Ysae (1858-1931) with his impressive blend of virtuosity and poetry was a great admirer of the young Debussys music who led the Paris premiere of his only string quartet in December 1893.

Then as Debussy was putting the finishing touches to LApres-midi dun faune in 1894 he told Ysae he was now working on 'three Nocturnes for solo violin and orchestra which are destined for you and which undoubtedly derived from his earlier 'Twilight scenes. The first was to be 'for strings only; the second for three flutes four horns three trumpets and two harps; the third combines all these instruments. He also informed Ysae perhaps with Whistle
