Phoenix in Flight
“The very first piece of classical music that I fell in love with when I was in high school was the Debussy Premiere Rhapsodie. I remember taking it to my teacher, who agreed with me that this was a beautiful piece but who said that I wasn’t ready to play it I was so sad because I loved the marmonies and the gorgeous main melody in the clarinet. Later another clarinet teacher told me that the piece was written as a competition piece and therefore were all kinds of technical hurdles in the music that you had to overcome, so for quite a while I only approached this piece as something that either I wasn’t ready for or that had so many technical challenges. It was only as I got older that I realized my first impression of the piece – that it was a simply beautiful piece – was the right attitude to take in playing it. And it was when I started playing the Debussy as a beautiful melody that I discovered the soul of the piece.”
- Richard Stoltzman
