The history of music artists; The case of Paul Dukas!

source

Paul Dukas was a French music educator, and an impressionistic composer. And he brought many ideas to the music, and there were established ways of doing things, and new ways to think and act upon. And you know, many of the imaginations that we have, we are just collecting from the human nature in the nature.

You find the music of Paul Dukas on YouTube, Spotify and Deezer, and you can listen to that music, and ask yourself what is new, and which impressions made to expressions that Paul Dukas was engaged with. And anything we are thinking in music, is about how we can make melodies that are appreciated and loved several places. So, when being in life, we should love the people being engaged with activities as you and me, and we should be active in using music many places to the pleasure and the inspiration of many people.

Paul Dukas was born on 1 October 1865 in Paris in France. So, Paris is a nice city with art, dancing and literature and much more. So, what is special with Paris, and why do people and tourists travel to and from this city through many times and through many moves that they are moving? Well, Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is known worldwide for the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame cathedral, and the Eiffel tower. It has a reputation of being a romantic and cultural city. The city is also known for its high-quality gastronomy and the terraces of its cafés. And The name ''Paris'' originated from the earliest inhabitants of the Paris region (the Parisii tribe). Paris is a city that is known through the whole world, and many people love it, and you are in good mood when being there.

Paul Dukas was a French composer, critic, scholar and teacher. His best known work is the orchestral piece The Sorcerer's Apprentice (L'apprenti sorcier), although he also wrote an opera, Ariane et Barbe-bleue, a symphony, two substantial works for solo piano, and a ballet, La Péri. So, what should any composer be known for? Well, there are several things. The first is that we should always be engaged with research and knowing things and persons. And the second thing is that we are moving to intenational environments when moving to new countries in the world. And the third moment is that we are going in clusters and spreading activities from time to time. And the clusters are making us able to cooperate and gain knowledges within and across the structures we are facing. So, music is much about facing the reality with knowledges, and with doing known and unknown things with the reality that we are meeting.

Dukas completed his ballet La Péri in 1912, but his later output was blighted by an increasingly self-critical outlook, which caused him to abandon and destroy many works. Only four pieces from the last 23 years of his life ever saw the light of day. So, what are we doing, and why are we doing as we are doing? And who is cooperating with whom, and what does this cooperation mean? And we are seeing the same things when being in the human nature in the nature.

What instruments did Paul Dukas play? Dukas took piano lessons but showed no unusual musical talent until he was 14 when he began to compose while recovering from an illness. He entered the Conservatoire de Paris at the end of 1881, aged 16, and studied piano with Georges Mathias, harmony with Théodore Dubois and composition with Ernest Guiraud.

Paul Dukas died on 17 May 1935 in Paris in France. So, when being in Paris in France, we have plenty of time to visit different things, different persons – also historical – and different buildings and different statues.

And again some music as it was asked to be included! :)
