Page "Les Six" Paragraph 0

Les Six is a name, inspired by Mily Balakirev's The Five, given in 1920 by critic Henri Collet in an article titled "" ( Comoedia, 16 January 1920 ) to a group of six composers working in Montparnasse.

Their music is often seen as a reaction against the musical style of Richard Wagner and the impressionist music of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
