Re: Robert Marcellus Recording of Debussy Rhapsody

Thanks for the clarification.......and forcing me to dig out my part. Yes, "D#-E-G" (and spelled differently in the fourth to last bar. I wrote in (during a Marcellus master class) "Claude's own correction." But I cannot tell you from where this correction was gleaned.

So the other corrections in the mix (as noted on my Durand 1910 edition):

o in third bar of square one, slur from first quarter note triplet to next; breathe after half note in sixth bar.

o eighth and ninth bars, slur from 'E' up to 'B' (both times);breathe between half and quarter the bar before square 2 (making that a four bar phrase).

o at Scherzando (between squares 6 and 7) second bar crescendos into a mz forte not a piano.

o eight bars before square 7 the beginning figure is a dotted sixteenth and thirty second note (not two even sixteenths) ...... I think we all know that one.

o and the tricky on for me is the last page triplets going into the "Plus Anime." If I have this correctly, Marcellus has the eighth note pulse of the "Plus Anime" equal to the length of "2" of the triplet notes prior (so just that much faster). If you listen again to the recording you notice just how organic that relationship is.
