This RHAPSODY is a tribute to Claude Debussy’s work of the same name. Composed in 2012, it is dedicated to François Sauzeau, principal clarinettist with the Orchestre National de Lyon, and to the “Ensemble de Clarinettes de Voiron”. It features a series of varied themes, alternating between reverie, virtuosity, tenderness and dance…
Written for clarinet and clarinet choir, here is the version for clarinet and string quintet, or for clarinet and string orchestra.

Performed in the album CLARINET FANTASIA with Philippe Berrod and the string quintet of the Paris Orchestra.
