Subj: [kl] French musical term

Hello Klarinetters,

I've run into a French term that my own dictionaries and online resources aren't coping too well with, in a Jeanjean flute study; "decomposez". While I get the literal translation of 'decompose', I'm not sure of the actual implication; is it rubato?

Thanks for any guidance!
