 RE: Debussy Rhapsodie

Even though the passage at number 6 is designated the same tempo (as number 5), most performers now play the section more in the range of the quarter note = 96-100.

Greg Smith, in his insightful article in <i>The Clarinet</i> ventures to say that there is perhaps a compositional weakness in playing number 6 at the slower tempo (quarter note = 72), and has yet to hear a convincing performance at that slower speed. He advances the possibility that so many modern day clarinetists play number 6 at the quicker tempo (and we have become used to hearing it that way) that "there is no going back" (Greg's words).

He concludes by saying that he would like nothing better than to be convinced the slower tempo works in this passage, but has yet to be swayed...GBK
