Debussy playfully engages with it with an elegance tinged with mischief by composing \"La plus que lente,\" a piano waltz with instantly recognizable charm, blending harmonic refinement, rhythmic flexibility, and worldly winks. The score bears the performance indication \u003cstrong\u003e\"molto rubato con morbidezza\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, a valuable direction for approaching the touch, phrasing, and controlled freedom characteristic of Debussy's writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the first edition published in \u003cstrong\u003eJuly 1910\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Parisian publisher Durand issued the same year a separate print in \u003cstrong\u003eLe Figaro\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as anonymous arrangements for \u003cstrong\u003eviolin and piano\u003c\/strong\u003e and for \u003cstrong\u003epiano four hands\u003c\/strong\u003e. Debussy later created his own orchestral version, which he recorded in \u003cstrong\u003e1913\u003c\/strong\u003e at a surprisingly brisk tempo on a \u003cstrong\u003eWelte-Mignon\u003c\/strong\u003e roll. This separate \u003cstrong\u003eHenle-Urtext\u003c\/strong\u003e edition includes an expanded introduction (compared to the HN 1194 and 404 collections), renewing interest in this short but subtle piece, ideal for working on color, phrasing, dynamics, and the art of rubato without losing sight of the dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClaude Debussy\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eHenle-Urtext (separate edition), edited by Ernst-Günter Heinemann\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical score (waltz for piano)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Henle Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54362160595219,"sku":"234201","price":7.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/0b9bf2e5216bb36067d0429b580638e3c2bdc5c2_HN1318.jpg?v=1789426734","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/henle-verlag-debussy-claude-la-plus-que-lente-valse-piano-234201","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
