Debussy: Petite Piece for clarinet and piano

Code: JP2031
ISMN: 979-0-3019-0182-3

In 1910 Debussy wrote two pieces for clarinet and piano that were to be used for the Paris Conservatory concours (examinations) that year. The Premiere Rhapsodie was used for the performance degree concert piece and the Petite Piece as a test in sight reading. This is not to imply that this short solo is easy. The delicate, dynamic nuances as well as technical difficulties at the register break and intonation problems in the throat register can make this work a challenge. The dotted rhythms must be exact, yet as smooth and legato as possible. Duration just slightly over 1 minute.
