reveals the same painstaking process of revision and search for a title that characterises a number of Delius's orchestral works. While the published score is a single-movement work with no accompanying textual content beyond the title, the sketches indicate that Delius initially envisaged two distinct movements entitled 'Scènes Parisiennes' and 'Episodes & Aventures' respectively. The flyleaf of the autograph score contains an unidentified poem in English and German (struck through in blue pencil), phrases from which are written (in French) into the sketches. This suggests that, as in the case of <rend fontstyle="italic">Life's Dance</rend>, an initial literary inspiration became less important to Delius as the work reached its final version.</p> </annot> </notesStmt> <classification xml:id="classification_9bdd3b9a"> <termList xml:id="termList_9407c7f9"> <term xml:id="term_f5b3527b">Instrumental music</term> <term xml:id="term_d080f12c">Orchestral music</term> </termList> </classification> <expressionList xml:id="expressionList_8b9b2c84"> <expression xml:id="expression_108N200A1"> <title xml:id="title_523479c8" xml:lang="en"/> <incip xml:id="incip_acd7a95f"> <graphic label="" target="https://delius.music.ox.ac.uk/incipits/delius/other_orchestral_music/delius_paris.png" targettype="lowres" xml:id="graphic_950b7e84"/> </incip> <creation xml:id="creation_61c84e70"> <date xml:id="date_d021aba2"/> <geogName xml:id="geogName_ea5d2c6e"/> </creation> <history xml:id="history_43ac727d"> <p/> </history> <perfMedium analog="marc:048" auth="" xml:id="perfMedium_4166a05e"> <instrumentation xml:id="instrumentation_802625f6"> <instrVoiceGrp code="oa" xml:id="instrVoiceGrp_dfaac442"> <instrVoice code="jf" count="1" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_e33a44ad">picc.fl.</instrVoice> <head xml:id="head_9e77c078">Orchestra </head> <instrVoice code="wa" count="2" xml:id="instrVoice_f69486f9">fl.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="wb" count="3" xml:id="instrVoice_31c248b9">ob.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="wf" count="1" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_3856ba0d">cor.ingl.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="wc" count="3" xml:id="instrVoice_6e56a711">cl.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="wg" count="1" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_fb6d8fde">cl.b.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="wd" count="3" xml:id="instrVoice_b67a2d7a">fg.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="je" count="1" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_9dd9e6c5">cfg.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="ba" count="6" xml:id="instrVoice_7239eaa9">cor.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="bb" count="3" xml:id="instrVoice_537b1fc7">tr.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="bd" count="3" xml:id="instrVoice_33dcf3a9">trb.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="be" count="1" xml:id="instrVoice_76c7c23b">tb.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="pa" xml:id="instrVoice_0de73a6c">timp.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="jk" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_0a97bf85">gr.c.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="jc" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_b4e25f1f">cym.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="pz" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_cfa9cbb9">castanets</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="ja" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_1461f8b1">trgl.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="jj" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_072e28b4">tambo.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="pz" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_cd670f55">gong</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="jb" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_b17115dc">glsp.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="ta" count="2" solo="false" xml:id="instrVoice_83371578">arp.</instrVoice> <instrVoice code="sn" xml:id="instrVoice_c2104178">str.</instrVoice> </instrVoiceGrp> </instrumentation> </perfMedium> <classification xml:id="classification_60cc6369"> <termList xml:id="termList_e309f3a5"> <term xml:id="term_41701fb4"/> </termList> </classification> <relationList xml:id="relationList_302c435e"/> </expression> </expressionList> </work> </workList> <manifestationList xmlns:m="http://www.music-encoding.org/ns/mei"> <manifestation label="" xml:id="source_5ed07258"> <identifier label="" xml:id="identifier_fb2ce1eb"/> <titleStmt xml:id="titleStmt_6e2d904a"> <title xml:id="title_10c3301f">Rough sketches notated music manuscript autograph short score sketch fragment Frederick Delius British Library London GB-Lbl MS Mus. 1745/2/10

 Autograph score

The flyleaf verso bears the following text:

"Paris"|Impressions de nuit|"Ein Nachtstück"|Frederick Delius|Oct. 1899 Feb 1900|

"Mysterious city!|Asleep while the crowds hurry bye|to their many pursuits and pleasures|Awakening as the twilight softly deepens|tinging all things with mystery|City of pleasure,|of strange sensations|of brazen music and dancing|of painted and beautiful women.|Secret city,|unveiling but to those|who ever shunning day|return home in the pale blue light|of scarcely breaking dawn|and fall asleep to the song of the awakening streets|and the rising dawn."|(Dieses Gedicht soll nur die Stimmung|angeben & soll durchaus nicht als Programme|aufgefasst werden). There follows a translation of the poem in German.
