De cette Rhapsodie pour Clarinette , Claude Debussy disait : « Ce morceau est certainement un des plus aimables que j aie jamais écrits. » Ce chef d oeuvre est dédié à Prosper Mimart (1859-1928), à l époque professeur au Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris. J ai consulté les deux manuscrits de la Rhapsodie à la Bibliothèque Nationale : l un pour Clarinette et piano MS 1002 écrit entre décembre 1909 et début janvier 1910 pour le concours des prix du Conservatoire de Paris Année 1910 ; l autre pour Clarinette et orchestre MS 1003A, édité aux éditions Durand en 1911. Visiblement les deux manuscrits sont différents et toutes les suppositions restent possibles : concertation entre le compositeur et Prosper Mimart pour des problèmes de technique instrumentale ; modifications voulues par Claude Debussy (Mais il y a, à certains endroits, des corrections difficilement explicables.) Cette édition doit permettre à l artiste-interprète d avoir un éclairage nouveau sur l oeuvre la plus réussie et la plus séduisante du répertoire français de la Clarinette .

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.

This edition is enriched with a historical introduction in French and English by notable clarinettist Pierre Génisson. “[...] this piece is, without a doubt, one of the sweetest I have ever written.†As this letter that Claude Debussy wrote to Durand, his publisher, indicates, the composer held his Rhapsodie for clarinet and piano in very high regard. In 1909, when Gabriel Fauré, then director of the Paris Conservatoire, commissioned the piece, Debussy had never before written for clarinet. He dedicated it to P. Mimart, “as a token of my regard.†After the unanimous recognition of the high quality of this solo, written for competition, Mimart premiered it in public on 16 January 1911 at the Salle Gaveau in Paris. Two years later, Debussy would choose to expand it further, writing a version accompanied by orchestra with a greatly expanded palette of colors. As its name suggests, it is freeform, and emanates a great poetry. The introduction, “Rêveusement lent,†is an evocation of the dawn. This gives way to a scene of nature's awakening, which never ceases to amaze us with its transformations. At times calm and lyrical, it sometimes becomes mischievous, vindictive or even joyous, especially during the scherzando passages. In a heightened impressionist style, Debussy gives free rein to his imagination, demanding tremendous speed and precision from the clarinettist.
