A little about this piece
The Sorcerer's Apprentice was originally a poem written by the great German poet, Goethe in 1797. 100 years later, in 1897, Paul Dukas decided to write an orchestral piece (a symphonic poem) with the same name. This piece became so famous that it is used to accompany a section of the Walk Disney film Fantasia. Mickey Mouse, obviously, plays the role of the apprentice!
