Practice and Rehearsal Strategies Using the IMSLP Score

The Introduction and Allegro is deceptively difficult. Here is a week-by-week guide using your digital IMSLP download.

The "Two Beats" Glissando (Rehearsal Mark 4)

Just after the Allegro begins, the harp executes a rapid ascending and descending glissando marked très vif (very lively). Most young harpists play it as a smear. Look closely at the notation: Ravel notates specific pitches at the top and bottom of the glissando. This implies a bisbigliando (whispering) effect—a brushed rather than smashed glissando. The IMSLP score shows Ravel’s original beaming, which suggests the two hands should not play simultaneously but in rapid succession.

Legal and Ethical Downloading from IMSLP

A frequent question: Is it legal to download the IMSLP Ravel Introduction and Allegro?

Pro Tip: If you plan to perform the work and sell tickets, or record it for a label, do not use a "re-typeset" edition from IMSLP unless you confirm it is based solely on the public domain original. Use the direct scan of the 1906 Durand print.

Week 3: The Flute/Clarinet Blend

These two winds function as a pair. Using the IMSLP parts, practice your entrances not for rhythm, but for attack and decay. The flute’s sound should start and end exactly with the clarinet’s. Ravel marks no breath marks—you must stagger breathing. The score’s phrase markings indicate where to "break" the line.
