This piece dates originally from May 1882 when Debussy made his first public appearance as a composer at a musical soiree in Paris accompanying the violinist Maurice Thieberg. Among the work performed on that occasion was a Nocturne and Scherzo for Violin and Piano by the 19-year-old composer which has since disappeared. In June Debussy made a new version for Cello and Piano which survives in autograph manuscript and is published here - in this new edition by the musicologist and cellist Neil Heyde - for the first time.Although the title implies two separate pieces the Nocturne et Scherzo is a hybrid piece in which the opening Scherzo material surrounds a cantabileepisode of nocturnal character.

Malcolm Arnold's 'Clarinet Concerto No. 2 Op. 115' was dedicated to Benny Goodman and first performed by him as part of the 'Red Rocks Music Festival' with the Denver Symphony Orchestra conducted by Brian Priestman on 17 August 1974. The third movement known affectionately as 'The Pre-Goodman Rag' is an outrageous ragtime parody with a hauntingly wistful middle section. The work has now been made more widely available in this transcription for wind band. This version conmtains full score and parts.
