C. Debussy: "Six epigraphes antiques" was written in 1914 as part of stage music for Pierre Louÿs's poem cycle "Les chansons de Bilitis" to shape his "Epigraphes Antiques", a work in six movements. Later the same year he arranged it, as an extension of his original work, for piano with four hands. The composition was premiered in Geneva in 1916. Although it was performed, the work was not published during Debussy’s lifetime.
