In 1889, two different versions of Gabriel Pierné’s Pantomime op. 24 were published by Parisian editor Alphonse Leduc. The first version, for piano solo, appeared in the December issue of the Supplément Littéraire, Musical et Artistique de Paris-Noël. This particular version was part of an artistic collaboration; it featured the complete version of Pantomime de la Statue by the French writer Paul Arène (1843-1896) with the music of Pierné, his dedication to Leduc’s wife, the libretto, and graphic designs by Auguste-François-Marie Gorguet (1862-1927). Pierné revised his piano score and produced a new version for petit orchestre (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, triangle, timpani, and strings). The version, which only contains the musical score, became known simply as Pantomime op. 24.1
