The Sorcerer's Apprentice (French: L'Apprenti sorcier) is a symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas, completed in 1897. Subtitled "Scherzo after a ballad by Goethe", the piece was based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 1797 poem of the same name. By far the most performed and recorded of Dukas' works, its notable appearance in the Walt Disney 1940 animated film Fantasia has led to the piece becoming widely known to audiences outside the classical concert hall. Its first performance was given in Paris on May 18, 1897, by the Societe Nationale de Musique. The composer himself was its conductor. Its score was first published in 1897 by A. Durand & Fils.)
(Although this piece is traditionally known in English as "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," a more accurate translation of its French title is "The Apprentice Sorcerer.")
