I am playing Henri Rabaud's Solo de Concours, and right now I play the second page at mm 16th note=63. It is very weird to my teacher and I because Rabaud wrote it all in 32nd notes. We are wondering if the marking is a misprint in my music, (southern music company), or if it is supposed to go this speed. I would love it if someone wrote me back with a professional or serious explanation of this marking, including a summary of why it is supposed to go that slow or faster. Thank you,
Leah

It consists of three parts, very fast,very slow,and fast.
I recommend MMO CD3226/8016, music minus one Laureate series for clarinet,Advanced Level No.2. By late Harold Wright. Its attached sheet music includes a brief advice of this piece.

It is actually a misprint in that part. An eighth note should get the beat instead of the quarter note, which is marked.

I have an MMO, where Saxophonist Vincent Abato of Juliard playes this solo arranged for alto saxophone. He plays the Largo 3/8 in 6 counting 32nd as one just that =63.
His Performance guide goes like this although some of them may not be applied to clarinet performance. But surely they are good advice.
You will need to look for natural resting or breathing places in the florid opening section. Do not make a big accelerando; it will be more satisfying from the musical standpoint if you keep it relaxed. The thirty-second notes in measure 11 should be played deliberately, not rushed.
If you do not ritard the end of the Largo section, the Allegro will be easier to establish. The Allegro needs a steady tempo. Resist the tendency to rush! The long trill on A shrp can be fingered with one and one or one and two, regular fingering.
Hold back the tempo a little when you get to the section in 6/8 time. The composer has written this piece in such a way that the change of meter(from 6/8 to 2/4) gives the effect . Keep the tempo constant and play with a light touch. Use chromatic fingering for the chromatic scale.
