La Plus que Lente for flute septet

$12.00

Despite its title, this piece was not meant to be played slowly. “Lente” in this context refers to the valse lente genre that Debussy attempted to emulate. Slow waltzes enjoyed a special vogue in Parisian salons of the early twentieth century, leading Debussy, with a twinkle in his eye, to produce this piano waltz (“slower than slow”). He actually recorded it on a piano roll and orchestrated it in 1913.
