"Antique Epigraphs" is a ballet made on New York City Ballet by balletmaster Jerome Robbins to an orchestrated version of Debussy's "Six épigraphes antiques", L131, for piano, four hands, from 1914:
*“Pour invoquer Pan, dieu du vent d'été”
*“Pour un tombeau sans nom”
*“Pour que la nuit soit propice”

*“Pour l'égyptienne”
*“Pour remercier la pluie au matin”and his "Syrinx", L129, a melody for unaccompanied flute from 1913.
