5 The suites Shylock and Pelléas et Mélisande were both published by Hamelle soon after their composition; the latter has been especially popular as a concert work in Europe and abroad. Heugel published the complete opera Pénélope (1913), and although stagings are rare today the prelude is occasionally included on concert programmes. Masques et Bergamasques was published by Durand (1919).
