About this item
Delibes' music for the ballet Sylvia was often considered more interesting than the ballet itself. It was far ahead of its time in terms of instrumentationmaking much use of the newly invented saxophone. The scherzettino known as Pizzicati is an excellent example of how Delibes dictated action, as you can almost hear a story unfold as the music plays.

Composer
Léo Delibes
Clément Philibert Léo Delibes (21 February 1836 – 16 January 1891) was a French composer of ballets, operas, and other works for the stage. His most notable works include ballets Coppélia (1870) and Sylvia (1876) as well as the operas Le roi l'a dit (1873) and Lakmé (1883).
Léo Delibes was born in Saint-Germain-du-Val, now part of La Flèche (Sarthe), France, in 1836. His father was a mailman, his mother a talented amateur musician. His grandfather had been an opera singer. He was raised mainly by his mother and uncle following his father's early death. In 1871, at the age of 35, the composer married Léontine Estelle Denain. His brother Michel Delibes migrated to Spain; he was the grandfather of Spanish writer Miguel Delibes.
