Debussy's
Premiere Rhapsodie is one
of only two concertante
works completed,
premiered and published
during his lifetime. He
was commissioned to write
it in 1909 for the final
examination at the Paris
Conservatoire in 1910.
Debussy orchestrated it
in the summer of 1911.
While transferring the
clarinet part from the
already published version
for clarinet and piano,
he made a few subtle
changes, particularly in
m. 201, which has been a
bone of contention among
clarinettists for over a
century.
The
present
scholarly-critical
publication is the first
Urtext edition of the
orchestral version. It
draws on every known
source and takes into
account a previously
ignored source that sheds
new light on the piece.
