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”). Debussy himself recorded it on a piano roll for the Welte-Mignon company and also orchestrated it in 1913. This arrangement is scored for 7 flutes; 3 c-flutes , 2 alto flutes, 1 bass flute and 1 contrabass flute.
