Yes, that's correct! Claude Debussy's composition "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) was inspired by a poem of the same name by Stéphane Mallarmé. The piece, composed in 1894, is noted for its innovative orchestration and harmonic language, which marked a significant departure from traditional classical music.
In 1912, the renowned ballet choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky created a ballet based on Debussy's work for the Ballets Russes, which was choreographed for the music. The ballet was significant not only for its choreography but also for its controversial themes, which included sensuality and eroticism. Nijinsky's interpretation contributed greatly to the piece's popularity and remains an essential part of the ballet repertoire. The premiere of the ballet was notable for its artistic innovation and sparked discussions about the boundaries of dance and modern art.
