 His best known work is the orchestral piece "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" ("L'apprenti sorcier"), the fame of which has eclipsed that of his other surviving works.Among these are the opera "Ariane et Barbe-bleue", his Symphony in C and Piano Sonata in E-flat minor, the "Variations, Interlude and Finale on a Theme by Rameau" (for solo piano), and a ballet, "La Péri".At a time when French musicians were divided into conservative and progressive factions, Dukas adhered to neither but retained the admiration of both.
