Subj: [kl] RE: Debussy Rhapsodie
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 16:21:24 -0400
Hi Sean et al,
I have 2 editions - one by Elkan Vogel and an original by Durand - and both
are printed as you described. I would agree, the Debussy has had it's share
of changes and edits and morphings, and I was even scrutinized once in a
competition requiring the Debussy for having played a Cb both in that
measure AND 2 after 7 - among other things that vary by edition. Interesting
to see someone else has discovered & acknowledges this "difference". I've
always thought it was just common mistake turned common practice to play
those measures the same, and that it sounds wrong or odd to play the Cb in
measure 18 most likely stems from being acclaimated to it sounding the same
as in measure 14. Since it was originally a competition solo, perhaps that
was an element they expected participants to trip up on, and people just
never "got it". I'd be interested too if anyone has done any in depth
investigation on the correctness of the part.
Bryan

Dear list,
I am preparing the Debussy once again for some recitals this fall, and I
noticed something that I never noticed before in my 20+ years of performing
it. We're all familiar with several discrepencies and copying errors, but
the one I just noticed, I've never heard anyone discuss before.
14 bars after 6, and 18 after 6 do not match, but to my recollection, they
are always played the same .... Playing C-flat in
that measure just doesn't sound right to me, and I can't recall anyone
playing it that way.
I'm sure many people on this list have researched this mistake (if it is
one) in the past and can offer some insights into the correct pitch to play.
As for the 5th bar after 12 - I won't even go there! haha.
Cheers,
Sean Osborn

Thanks for the link! That's a much better story than the other
explanations I've seen. It's even weird enough to make sense, in the
historic context. (If I'd been making violin strings back in the day, I
don't think I'd have mentioned cats at all, since calling to mind any
association with the Dark Side might have reminded those of extremely
righteous zeal that the Devil plays the fiddle.) I passed the link along
to my husband.

How does John Bruce Yeh pronounce his last name?
I have always assumed in was like yay (the cheer) and I just heard a radio
announcer say that. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Gary
