Claude Debussy's "Syrinx," composed in 1913, is a pivotal solo flute composition. This work drew inspiration from the Greek mythological figure Pan, reflecting Debussy's fascination with ancient mythology. It premiered on November 29, 1913, at the Louis Mors Theatre in Paris, with flutist Louis Fleury as the performer. "Syrinx" played a crucial role in redefining the possibilities of the flute and has become a cornerstone of 20th-century flute repertoire, cherished for its historical significance and innovative approach to the instrument.
