No fewer than four major composers - Fauré, Debussy, Schoenberg and Sibelius - were inspired by Maurice Maeterlink's play (1892). Debussy was so much involved with his own operatic setting that the famous English actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell turned to Fauré to write incidental music for the play; this music then became an orchestral suite. Schoenberg followed advice given by his much-admired role model R. Strauss in 1902 and composed his own symphonic poem.
