Debussy - Premiere Rhapsodie & Petite Piece Clarinet/piano

Originally written for the final year clarinet examination at the Paris Conservatoire, Debussy's Premire Rhapsodie has quickly become a bestseller of the clarinet repertoire, being a highly impressionistic work thatplays marvellously with the timbral possibilities of the clarinet. Its success was so pervasive that Debussy later arranged the piano accompaniment for orchestra, and in this form the rhapsody is today to be heard all around the world. Our edition also contains as a lollipop the popularPetite pice, an original work of under forty bars that was in fact dev ised as a sight-reading test.
