Debussy Poeme danse: Jeux
Sir Lennox Berkeley says: "Debussy's Jeux was originally written for a ballet which revolved around a game of tennis. It was choreographed by Nijinsky and premiered by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1913, but it seems to have been unworthy of its music, and it had little success at early performances. This may account for the music's neglect, which otherwise seems almost incomprehensible. It is, at last, becoming recognised as a masterpiece; some think it perhaps the greatest of his orchestral works."
