Originally written for the final year Clarinet examination at the Paris Conservatoire Debussy s Première Rhapsodie has quickly become a bestseller of the Clarinet repertoire being a highly impressionisticwork that plays 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 beheard all around the world. Our edition also contains as a lollipop the popular Petite pièce an original work of under forty bars that was in fact devised as a sight-reading test.

Debussy's Premiere Rhapsodie is one of 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.

Claude Debussy composed two chamber music works for the clarinet. He wrote his Première Rhapsodie and his Petite Pièce as mandatory pieces for the wind competitions at the Paris Conservatoire. With their lyrical tone colours and focus on cantabile melodies, Debussy's sound ideal is evident in both pieces as if under a burning glass. Both are now also available for violin and piano, arranged by pianist and composer Dejan Lazic.
