It premiered on November 29, 1913, at the Louis Mors Theatre in Paris, with flutist Louis Fleury as the performer. "Syrinx" played a crucial role in redefining the possibilities of the flute and has become a cornerstone of 20th-century flute repertoire, cherished for its historical significance and innovative approach to the instrument.
