La Plus Que Lente Valse
Slow Waltzes Enjoyed A Special Vogue In Parisian Salons Of The Early Twentieth Century, Leading Debussy With A Twinkle In His Eye To Produce His Piano Waltz La Plus Que Lente (The Slower Than Slow). Parisian Publisher Durand Brought DebussyS Piano Waltz, Issued In July 1910, To A Wider Public By Publishing It That Same Year As A Supplement To Le Figaro, As Well As In Arrangements (By Others) For Violin And Piano And For Piano, 4 Hands. Debussy Himself Produced A Version For Orchestra, And In 1913 He Even At A Rather Faster Tempo Recorded It On A Piano Roll For The Welte Mignon Company. This Work, Headed Molto Rubato Con Morbidezza (With Much Rubato, Morbidly), Is Now Available As A Separate Henle Urtext. A Preface, Extended From Those In The Anthology Volumes Hn 1194 And Hn 404, Will Stimulate Curiosity About This Charming Miniature Waltz.
