 debussy´s premiere rhapsodie manuscript
Author: miklarinet 
Date:   2010-11-15 17:05

hello, my name is mikel, i´m a spanish clarinet student.
i´m finnishing my clarinet degree this year and my tesis is based on debussy´s rhapsody for clarinet and piano/orchestra.
that´s why i´m interested on finding any copy of the manuscript of the piece. i´ve been told that there are manuscripts at the national library of France, in Paris. i would prefer not to travel to Paris if I can, and that´s why i´m asking for some help at this moment. if you could help me with that i would be so grateful!

Mikel, why don't you see if your college library can obtain a copy of the manuscript from the national library in France, if that is in fact where it resides., Might also be in the library of the Conservatoire Nationale, in as much as it was written as a Solo de Concours for them.

It's at http://web.mac.com/harrimaki/Sivusto/Manuscripts.html beginning at p. 26

Charles Neidich, who has made a careful study of the Premiere Rhapsodie, has said that Debussy always intended it to be with orchestra. He made the clarinet/piano arrangement at the last minute, and it had a number of errors. However, he meticulously corrected the solo and orchestra score, which represent his final intentions. The printed edition represents his final thoughts. It's at http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Music/Manuscripts/Premiere/debussy.pdf.

There are many more. Go the Search link, click on the Woodwind.org web pages, the Klarinet mailing list archives and The Keepers.

I know you need to go back to the manuscript, but in this case it's not the best source.
